Description
Laser pointers – a key chain with 12 interchangeable points, marked as He-Ne laser, wavelength 630-680 nm, output 1 mW, class II. The points have various motifs (eg. butterfly, hand, ant, etc.) The laser pointer works in a continual regime. Packed in a plastic container with a transparent lid and in a cardboard box with a transparent front part enabling the product to be seen.
Risk
The product poses a risk of damage to sight because the measured values of a direct beam exceed the limit value for eye exposure. In addition, the product has insufficient safety warnings and user instructions. In case of inappropriate use, especially by children, the beam could directly strike an unprotected eye and damage it.
