SunAlert™
When UV Rays are too high, LuvGear alerts you.
|
- Children gain 50 - 80% of their lifetime sun exposure before the age of 18 (KidsHealth.org).
- Children are at higher risk of suffering damage from exposure to UV rays than adults
because their skin is thinner and more sensitive (World Health Organization).
- One in five North Americans will develop some form of skin cancer in their lifetime
(World Health Organization).
- Dangers of reflections off water and sand are unsuspecting UV dangers.
- Harmful sun rays can filter through shaded areas.
- As the UV rays get stronger, the LuvGear icon alert becomes a darker shade of red.
- If there are no levels of UV present the SunAlert icon patch will be clear.
- If the UV rays are low (UV index level 1 - 3) the icon will be a light rose color.
- If the UV rays are higher (levels 4 - 8) the icon will become a darker red.

HotAlert™
When liquid temperature is too hot, LuvGear alerts you.
|
- At a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius (140 F), a young child's skin can burn in just one second (Safe Kids Canada)
- Liquids that may not seem hot to an adult can be dangerous to an infant because adults skin is much thicker than a child; therefore, the skin of young children is thinner than adults, which means it burns deeper and at a lower temperature. (Safe Kids Canada)
