Hazard
The products present a high risk of injuries and damage to sight as they are classed as class 3 and 4 lasers with an excessively strong beam. These are not suitable for consumer use as UKHSA and WHO advises that consumer products sold to the public should be restricted to class 1 or class 2. If the beam were to be pointed in the consumer's eye, there may be temporary or permanent damage. Testing identified that the products have an excessive accessible emission of laser. The laser safety labels are also incorrect, and the manuals provide incorrect information.

Further information on laser radiation safety advice can be found on GOV.UK.

The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Corrective action
The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).

We recommend owners stop using this product immediately. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.
