Unknown · Laser pointers

The product poses a serious risk of damage to sight because it is potentially dangerous if the beam strikes an unprotected eye directly or even when reflected by another surface (watches, rings, pens, etc.). The label indicates that it is a class III laser. Sales of these products are therefore prohibited in Italy except for specific professional uses in such cases the supplier must clearly indicate the purpose of the product and the instructions for its proper use. In addition, the label is not suitable, since the information is in English only. This product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 60865.
