I have a sincere point I’d like to present to Frank (Oregonpapa) for his consideration.
Frank had mentioned in a recent post that he recently had a pacemaker installed. It so happens that today I set up an unconventionally designed Dyson fan in my wife’s study. Its manual states as follows:
Might this mat result in a similar or even more significant concern in Frank’s case?

Frank had mentioned in a recent post that he recently had a pacemaker installed. It so happens that today I set up an unconventionally designed Dyson fan in my wife’s study. Its manual states as follows:
WARNINGThe magnet in the very small remote control that is cautioned about is intended to hold the control on the top of the fan when it is not being used, and it is weak enough to exert no force that I can detect if it is more than 1/2 inch from a ferrous surface.
THE FAN AND THE REMOTE CONTROL BOTH CONTAIN MAGNETS.
Pacemakers and defibrillators may be affected by strong magnetic fields. If you or someone in your household has a pacemaker or defibrillator, avoid placing the remote control in a pocket or near to the device.
Might this mat result in a similar or even more significant concern in Frank’s case?
