Uvlizer c/o RAIS INTERNATIONAL LLC is recalling approximately 480,000 handheld ultraviolet-C (UVC) germicidal wands because they can emit dangerous levels of radiation. These handheld devices contain two mercury bulbs intended to kill germs, but they lack sufficient safety features to protect users. No injuries have been reported at this time, but the FDA has mandated this recall due to the severity of the radiation exposure. If you own this product, you should stop using it immediately and contact the manufacturer or your healthcare provider.
The wands expose people to UVC radiation levels significantly higher than international safety limits, which can cause severe skin burns and eye injuries within seconds of exposure.
You have 2 options:
Product contains two low-pressure mercury bulbs with a peak emission wavelength at 254 nm.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
