LG Air Purifiers Earn ‘Asthma

Just before the spring allergy season kicks in with sniffles, watery eyes and coughs across America, four air purifiers from the LG PuriCare™ and LG SIGNATURE product lines have earned the asthma & allergy friendly® certification from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), LG Electronics USA announced today. The AAFA certification means that LG air purifiers are scientifically proven to be better suited for the one out of five Americans with asthma and allergies.

AAFA created the asthma and allergy friendly® Certification Program to help consumers make informed purchase decisions when choosing allergen-avoidance products, independently testing each product in accredited laboratories and certifying those that are most suitable for asthma and allergy sufferers.

“Our team of health experts constantly evaluates products that truly make a difference for allergy and asthma sufferers,” said AAFA Certification Program Director Michele Cassalia. “LG air purifiers rank among the best air purification systems we’ve tested and are proven to help improve indoor air quality while easing asthma and allergy symptoms.”

All LG air purifiers use highly advanced and effective filtration systems to reduce air-bound allergens – including pet dander, pollen and mold spores – and deodorize the air consumers breathe. Operating as quietly as 20 decibels, each model features a highly effective three-stage filtration system: a washable pre-filter, micro particle filter and deodorizing filter to reduce unpleasant smells as well as volatile organic compounds like formaldehyde.

Because the purifiers are equipped with LG Smart Lighting, consumers are able to instantly check air quality with the Smart Indicator light, which delivers a real-time reading of indoor particulate levels in the home, emitting colors based on detected indoor particulate levels nearby.

“With spring just weeks away, AAFA-certified LG air purifiers can help users transition into new seasons and minimize allergen-related symptoms thanks to their advanced filtration, and are proven by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America to be better suited for the one out of five Americans with asthma and allergies,” said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA. “Each model features a sleek, elegant aesthetic that complements many home décor styles, bridging premium design with demonstrably improved air quality.”

The four new certified asthma and allergy friendly® LG air purifiers (three LG PuriCare models as well as the distinctive new LG SIGNATURE unit) are all ENERGY STAR® certified and offer advanced convenience and performance features:
