Why It Matters
Headphones and earbuds are worn directly against skin for extended periods. TVs and speakers generate heat during operation. Gaming equipment may be used for many hours.
Key Safety Considerations
- ✓Headphones contact skin directly for hours
- ✓Foam ear cushions may contain plasticizers
- ✓Heat from operation increases off-gassing
- ✓Children may be particularly heavy users
