Danger:
Fire
The product poses a risk of fire because users do not have any flight direction and speed control and can not influence the point where the lantern will go down/fall. It is therefore very difficult or impossible to avoid the lantern coming into contact with flammable material, e.g. dry vegetation or buildings.
