---|---|---|---|---|---|
plasticizer | type | old generation label (n = 12) | new generation label (n = 28) | detected TPHP (n = 24) | no detected TPHP (n = 16) |
DEHP | phthalate | 1.61 [0.703, 2.23] | 1.67 [<0.001, 331] | 1.51 [<0.001, 2.50] | 68.5 [0.684, 331]b |

Note: Old generation, unlabeled or 3-Free; New generation, 5- to 13-Free; < , calculated value fell below the limit of detection.
Samples with detected TPHP significantly different from samples without detected TPHP at p < 0.05 (Wilcoxon rank sum test).
New generation samples significantly different from old generation samples at p < 0.001 (Wilcoxon rank sum test).
