The product poses a health risk of UV-damage to skin and eyes because when it is used on uneven surfaces the user may be exposed to UV radiation. Measurements show that the exposure limit set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is exceeded in approx 60 seconds at a distance of 100 mm in front of the product (40 microW/cm2). Furthermore, the warnings given in the operating instructions are not sufficient to guide the user how to act in order to assure safe use of the product. Two incidents of burns to the skin reported.
