Background and Description of the Product
UV wands are portable items designed to emit UV-C radiation to disinfect surfaces outside of a medical environment. The FDA-tested goods were found to expose users or anybody close to dangerously high amounts of UV-C radiation. The FDA also found certain similarities among the tested items, including a lack of safety information, promises of instantaneous disinfection, and the absence of any user protection measures.

A product that claims to disinfect in a matter of seconds is probably emitting UV-C radiation that is dangerous. According to FDA testing, certain UV wand products emit up to 3,000 times more UV-C radiation at a distance of roughly two inches than the exposure level advised by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. After a brief period of time, the user or anybody around the UV wands described in the above table may suffer a harm to their skin (erythema, burn-like skin response), eyes (photokeratitis), or both. The form of eye damage linked to UV-C exposure results in excruciating pain and the sensation that sand is in the eyes.
