Uvlizer recalls handheld UV-C germic: Risk of overexposure to UVC radiation during use. Learn if your device is affected and what to do.
In some foreseeable use conditions, the Products can expose nearby persons to UVC radiation at levels significantly above limits recommended by international safety guidelines for skin and eye exposure.
Uvlizer's handheld UV-C germicidal wands are being recalled because they can expose nearby people to harmful UVC radiation levels above safety guidelines. This poses a risk of eye or skin damage if used too close to people.
The wand emits UVC radiation from two low-pressure mercury bulbs. If used too close to people, this radiation can exceed international safety limits for skin and eye exposure, causing potential damage.
People who own or use Uvlizer germicidal wands for disinfection are at risk. Those using the device near others, especially children or sensitive skin, face the highest risk.
