DNY123 learned that Singapore's National Environment Agency (NEA) warned that in order to prevent exposure risks and health problems, consumers are advised not to buy ultraviolet disinfection equipment without any safety protection.

It is reported that the National Environment Agency of Singapore has cooperated with e-commerce platforms to remove about 8,000 unsafe ultraviolet disinfection devices from the shelves. Platforms such as Amazon, Carousell, ezbuy, Qoo10 and Shopee are actively removing this product.

Singapore's National Environment Agency said that since the outbreak of the epidemic, demand for ultraviolet disinfection equipment has continued to grow, and common uses of such equipment include disinfecting mobile phones, jewelry and household items.

Exposure to UV radiation due to improper use or unsafe sterilization equipment can cause damage to the cornea or burns to the skin.

Singapore's National Environment Agency said users should choose disinfection equipment with safety features to prevent them from being exposed to UV radiation, such as equipment with a sensing function that automatically turns off the UV source when someone approaches.

Singapore's National Environment Agency has advised all physical stores and e-commerce platforms not to sell UV sterilizer devices that are unsafe for consumers, and urged consumers who have already purchased UV devices without any safety features to stop using them immediately.
