⚠️ Risk

Label on the product indicates that it is a laser of class 3.These products, therefore, are potentially dangerous if the beam strikes an unprotected eye directly or even when reflected by another surface (watches, rings, pens, etc). Selling of lasers of class 3 is 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.
