Response to EMF warning
I was concerned when I read the review about the EMF rating and emailed the company. They promptly emailed me the following response that put my mind at ease:<br /><br />Quote:<br />The person who posted that comment is placed a Gauss meter directly against the housing of a Sleep Mate and took a reading on his amateur Gauss meter.  He could take that same meter and walk by his refrigerator, bathroom or kitchen exhaust fans, or any device in his home that contains an electric motor and get similar readings.  If the general public had any clue how much EMF is produced by cell phones and were concern about this being a cancer risk, they would be astonished.  EMF exposure to concentrated levels from high voltage power lines or other circumstances where high levels of EMF can be measured at a great distance from the source should be considered a risk...Sleep Mate is not.<br /><br />I can tell you for certain that the inventor of this product is 90 years old and he and his wife have used Sleep Mate on his nightstand nearly every night since 1962 and they are both in pretty good health (he recently broke his hip).  Neither of them have ever had any form of cancer.<br /><br />This product is in its fourth generation design and has been in use in one form or another for over 45 years.<br /><br />I hope this helps and please let us know if we can be of further assistance.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Marpac Corporation
