What do you think?
It’s from Temu. Was thinking of getting one for our bathroom, but I noticed it says in the user manual it’s an ozone deodorizer, which I’ve heard can make you ill. But when I looked up ozone deodorizers, they generally seem to be much bigger than this one. So perhaps it doesn’t produce enough ozone to be a problem?
Is it safe or dangerous?
Ozone deodorizers have gained attention for their effectiveness in eliminating odors; however, safety is a major concern. Ozone is a potent oxidizer that can cause respiratory issues when inhaled, especially in larger concentrations. For smaller devices, such as the one from Temu, the risk may vary based on the amount of ozone produced. Users should consult the user manual and research appropriate usage. It’s also beneficial to consider alternative deodorizing methods, like activated charcoal or baking soda, which are known for their safe, non-toxic properties. Understanding how ozone works and the potential side effects is essential for making informed decisions when selecting household products.
I never heard of this or anything but if there’s anything out there that says it increases chance of illness believe it and don’t try. Sometimes the possibility is enough to say skip. Look for a different product that does the same thing and do your research on that one too.
