Safety
The facts are hidden behind the marketing hype! Detox footbaths and Ionic Foot Spa & Baths have been on the market since the mid 1990's. There has never been a noted injury from electrocution or from sub-standard safety in manufacturing. Users have reported no issues with proper usage of these machines. The safety track record of these devices is very good. All of the footbaths on the market are deemed a low power device by UL. They barely regulate these lower power devices. The protection you need to be concerned with is the power supply's ability to protect you from the large power grid you plug into. All of the units we can find seem to do this quite adequately.
IonChi™ Ionic Foot Spa & Bath is CE compliance - This European safety designation is self declared . This means that the manufacturer is stating they conform to the standard. It is the European equivalent to UL in the USA.
One company selling an expensive ionic foot spa has begun a marketing campaign of safety. This seems to basically be a marketing ploy to justify the very high price of their footbath. With an additional $1000 in profit margin per machine (don't be deceived by their site, their cost of manufacturing is similar to other US products), they claim to have run many very expensive safety tests on the many footbaths on the market. Actually the reports are from a “consulting group” that is actually a woman named Holly Sprackling. The address for the company turns out to be a house in the back of a subdivision! All attempts to verify these reports have failed. The safety issue has no grounding in facts. A lot of the other manufacturers have been forced to respond in kind on the issue of safety in their marketing.
Overall we wish to tell you that the “safety issue” is not grounded in facts. Do your research before you buy.
