From your description, it sounds like you are referring to a product that is advertised as an air purifier in spite of not offering any assurance that it actually purified air at all.
California has set a low bar on what can actually be claimed to be an air purifier and sold as such. Your example product failed to meet that bar. Therefore, it cannot be commercialized based on claims that it has not backed up.
Sounds to me like society is working. Snake oil is not excusable in this day and age.
- klipklop 3y agoA box fan with a HEPA filter stuck to the back of it has been proven to work reducing PM 2.5. The EPA seems to think they are OK: https://www.epa.gov/air-research/research-diy-air-cleaners-reduce-wildfire-smoke-indoors https://www.epa.gov/air-research/research-diy-air-cleaners-r... It's unreasonable for a box fan that can accept a standard filter on the back cant be sold. It's completely safe to use and not a scam at all. Buying this model means you don't have to duct tape the filters on. Also the model is designed to tolerate the extra load from the filter.

The moment you want to sell something you put together as a product that does something, you need to make sure that you are not defrauding the public. If your device really does what you claim it does, just subject it to tests to assure everyone.
