Phthalates

I just got a anime figure, and on the box theres a label saying that it may contain Phthalates (which could potentially cause cancer). Should I be concerned? I usually display figures in a single room, which doesn't usually get much ventilation, and I already opened the figure and came into contact with it. As of right now, I sealed it in the box it came from. Is that enough? Do all anime figures contain this chemical?
