Does the echo dot emits radiation?
I want to buy one for a children's room.

Yes, it does emit radiation. But if you put a tin foil hat on your children, they'll be protected.


Weird Al Yankovic was worried about it too, so he wore this tin foil hat.

it does have rf radiation.  but so does the smartphone, tablets, or anything that uses wifi connections.  that would also include tvs, dvd players, gaming consoles, etc...

As said above, all these sorts of gadgets are small radio transmitters and receivers that emit harmless rf energy that have to pass strict government standards.  Do you really think Amazon. Google, Apple and countless other companies would market harmful rf gadgets?  If so, you need to get better educated. 

But if a local radio or TV station wanted to erect a powerful transmitting antenna in the vacant lot next to your house, THAT would be a concern  Fortunately, the law would not allow it.
