Dimethyl fumarate (DMFu) is a substance with remarkable hygroscopicity and fungicidal power, which has recently showed to be a strong sensitizer to humans. The use of DMFu in little desiccant pouches, for e.g. in handbags or footwear boxes, might result in the contamination of leather products, with the subsequent exposure to consumers by contact. In 2009, 153 samples of desiccant material were collected from leather manufactures all over Italy and analyzed for DMFu. Results proved to fall in a wide range (0.14-7145 mg/kg).
