Is the Ionic Breeze GP ultraviolet light safe?
Yes. The germ-killing UVC light is created by a Philips Sterilamp, manufactured in Holland; it resembles an ordinary fluorescent tube. In the Ionic Breeze GP, this Sterilamp is completely shielded inside the unit and meets all government safety standards for home appliances. (The visible blue light is not the UVC, which is invisible.) The Sterilamp turns off automatically when the back panel is removed. There are important usage and safety guidelines in the instructions, but the Ionic Breeze GP is as safe as other common electric appliances, even in homes with pets and toddlers.
