Danger

Damage to sight
The products pose a risk of damage to sight because they incorporate a class 3A laser which is dangerous if a direct beam, or even a beam reflected off a reflective surface, strikes the unprotected eye. Class 3 laser pointers should not be placed on the market for use by consumers.
These products do not comply with the relevant European standard EN 60825.

Action Taken

Withdrawal from the market and destruction of the products ordered by the authorities.
