Requirements breached
It is a class 4 laser product and the laser beam could cause injury to the eyes and the skin and damage to sight. The wavelength of the laser light is outside the range of visible optical radiation which means that the user cannot see the laser beam and may think that it is not working. The laser beam does not focus to a point. There are no instructions for use. The electrical insulation is not adequate and the product is not earthed which could lead to a risk of electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards EN 60335 and EN 60825-1 (the latter with respect to the provision of safety information).
