Hazard

The product poses a risk of damage to sight because it incorporates a Class 3 laser (output power 4,9 mW). The laser beam output level is 10 times higher than 0,39 mW, which is the limit value for class 1 lasers allowed in toys.The product also poses a risk of injuries because when the arrows are shot the maximum permissible kinetic energy level may be exceeded. Hence there is a danger of external injuries, and sensitive areas such as the face, and above all the eyes, are particularly at risk.The product does not comply with the Toys Directive and with the relevant European standards EN 60825 and EN 71-1.

Product description
