Q. Are products advertised as having reduced magnetic fields legitimate?

A. This question must be answered appliance by appliance, depending on the claims of the manufacturer. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, "low magnetic field" electric blankets do produce significantly lower magnetic fields than older versions because of wiring redesign. It is advisable, however, to be cautious about product claims that are too good to be true, given the complexity of the EMF issue.
