Baby Night Light (LED Blue Light and Flame Retardant Housing) — child safety profile

What is this product?

Plug-in and portable night lights for nurseries and children's rooms. LED night lights with cool white or blue-tinted light suppress melatonin production and disrupt circadian rhythm. AAP recommends red or amber light for nighttime environment. Plastic housings contain flame retardants (PBDE replacements). Warm housing off-gases BFRs in the child's breathing zone. Motion-activated and auto-dimming features reduce unnecessary exposure.
