PHONESOAP recalls its handheld UV-C germic: excessive UV-C radiation risk. Affected units may cause skin damage or eye injury if used improperly.
Excessive ultraviolet-C radiation
PHONESOAP recalled its handheld UV-C germicidal wands due to excessive ultraviolet-C radiation. This hazard can cause skin damage or eye injury if the device is used too close to the skin or without proper precautions.
The device emits intense UV-C radiation at 254 nm. If held too close to the skin or eyes, it can cause burns, skin damage, or eye injury. The narrow-diameter lamps increase the intensity of the radiation.
People who own or use PHONESOAP UV Disinfecting Wands are affected. Those using the device too close to their skin or without proper distance are at higher risk.
