  • Brand KEY CHAIN LASER 5 in 1

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

The recalled product is a laser pointer key chain with 5 interchangeable points featuring various designs such as stars and animals. The laser pointer produces a red beam (630-680 nm wavelength) and is indicated to have a 1 mW output. The product poses a risk of eye damage because the direct beam exceeds safe exposure limits for eyes, and it lacks sufficient safety warnings and user instructions. If used inappropriately, particularly by children, the beam could strike an unprotected eye and cause sight damage.

The importer has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market and is conducting a recall from consumers. The source document does not specify what remedy is available to consumers who have already purchased this product.
