Plans made to avoid light party repeat
By TMG Editor - 27 March 2014
AN alert has been issued after the wrong lights were used at a 13-year-old's birthday party, causing more than 40 children to receive medical treatment last weekend
The lights used, germicidal lamps, emit low levels of radiation used for disinfecting purposes. Luckily there were no long-term effects to their eyes and most of the children at the Charlo party were back to normal within 24 hours. The lights used should have been UV units.
"We stand by our apology for supplying the wrong lights, but we weren't the only company involved," Diane Jonson-Percy, co-owner of electronic supplier Elektrex, said yesterday. - Riaan Marais
