Consumers allege Honeywell air cleaners cause indoor ozone pollution, poor air quality and threaten their health. Honeywell’s F300 Electronic Air Cleaner is allegedly linked to markedly increased levels of ozone production than listed in Honeywell’s user guide.
Honeywell’s F300 allegedly produces toxic amounts of indoor ozone, which pools in high concentrations near vents. The indoor ozone contaminates indoor air, leads to toxic chemical reactions with other products in the home, and ultimately results in health problems.
According to published Consumer Reports findings, the Honeywell F300 generates “whole house” concentrations of ozone between 25 and 50 parts per billion, which is far higher than reported by Honeywell. This figure is between two and ten times higher than the amount of ozone Honeywell discloses in its Product Data Sheet. Consumer Reports recommends consumers purchase a “whole house” filtered air cleaner, instead of “electrostatic precipitator” models like the Honeywell F300.
Consumers allege Honeywell’s statements about its F300 air cleaner’s ozone gas production were false and misleading, and they allege Honeywell’s statements concerning the health benefits of its air cleaners also are false and misleading, since the air cleaner results in toxic indoor ozone that adversely impacts user’s health.
