Ionic Breeze Air Cleaner Information

The Ionic Breeze is an air purifier that the Sharper Image once produced. The Sharper Image does not make the Ionic Breeze anymore, but you can still find this product at other retail outlets. The Sharper Image filed for bankruptcy in 2008 partly because of litigation over the Ionic Breeze, according to CNBC.
  1. Significance

    • The Ionic Breeze fails to clean the air as it is supposed to do. When Consumer Reports tested the Ionic Breeze, it failed to remove dust, pollen and smoke from the air. Even worse, this device releases potentially hazardous levels of ozone into the air, according to MSNBC.

    Improvement

    • Sharper Image offered an improved version of the Ionic Breeze that had an ozone guard on it to address the ozone output of the previous model. This newer model decreased ozone, but still added ozone to the air. Ozone aggravates allergies and asthma.

    Outcome

    • As of 2005, the Sharper Image sold more than 2 million Ionic Breeze machines. If you want to return yours, you should consult with an attorney regarding your rights, according to The Sharper Image website. SharperImage.com is a new venture stated in 2009 and is not connected with The Sharper Image Corporated, where people originally purchased the Ionic Breeze.
