EU regulations dictate what
materials may not be used in the colour dyes for products manufactured
or sold within the EU. This affects the dyes that may be used in
the Galileo balls. These regulations specify that heavy metals,
such as cadmium, may not be used. Cadmium and other heavy metals
are very toxic and represent a health risk. The remaining options,
particularly for red and cognac colours, reduce the ability of the dyes
to resist fading, particularly when exposed to UV
(ultra-violet) light associated with sunlight. Direct sunlight
delivers higher levels of UV than indirect sunlight or on a cloudy day. As all types
of thermometer should be used out of direct sunlight to avoid displaying
high reading, it is now important also to limit colour fading of the liquids.
The above regulations will affect all Galileo thermometers sold within
the EU, not just those from ThermometerShop.
AMS Products Ltd is not able to include colour fading within it's one
year guarantee, as the degree of exposure to UV light is within the
customer's control.
