Forever Ozone only sells commercial ozone generators that are specifically designed for Ozone Shock Treatments. Our Ozone Generators shipped to California are utilized by remediation contractors (and DIY homeowners) to remediate smoke damage, water damage, mold damage, crime scene cleanup, and for green pest control. Our units feature instructions on how to comply with California law, mainly by posting a “Warning: Ozone Shock Treatment in Progress” on the front door to alert any Real Estate agents, family, friends, even burglars (yes, we live in a litigious country) not to enter the premises.
Ozone isn’t for breathing, it’s a sanitizer. Like anything, there is a right and wrong way to use ozone. Used correctly, ozone is a God-send! It’s the only thing that gets rid of the stench of rotting flesh from a rodent in a crawl space or whatever. We give professional advice on how to flush the air out after the ozone shock treatment (creates tiny particulates) and bring in fresh air by putting a fan in the window, blowing out, opening all of the windows, and creating negative pressure to bring in new, fresh air.
Here is the California law in question in regards to ozone air purifiers and ozone generators shipped to California:
