I'm surprised that a company that claims to be ECO friendly would sell a product so toxic you have to clear your house of all family members,pets and fish for 3 hrs when it's used. And where does this toxic air go after 3 hrs? Simply diluted into the air like Freon and other fluoro­carbon pollutants? This eco friendly is a term overused and misunderstood. A product can be environmentally friendly but at the same time bad for humans. The environment loves large amounts of co2 but to large amounts of co2 can kill people so just being ECO friendly doesn't mean it's good for humans even though advertising something as ECO friendly sounds good and can increase sales it can also be harmful for humans.
Eco-friendly literally means earth-friendly or not harmful to the environment. Doesn't mean it's always good for humans, but it sounds good.

North America:
In the United States, environmental marketing claims require caution. Ambiguous titles such as environmentally friendly can be confusing without a specific definition; some regulators are providing guidance.[7]
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has deemed this language useless in determining whether a product is truly "green". In many cases a company can just change it's packaging from plastic to a product more biodegradable and it is suddenly reclassified as ECO friendly without even changing it's contents.
