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

What happened

The toy machine gun "Mitra" by LINEA has been recalled because it contains a class 3B laser that can damage eyesight. The laser poses a risk if the direct beam or even a reflected beam strikes an unprotected eye. The product does not meet the safety requirements of the European standard EN 60825. The toy is sold in a cardboard box labeled "MITRA" (machine gun) and describes how pulling the trigger activates an infrared beam that makes bullets in the magazine rotate while producing lights and sounds. It bears a CE marking, battery use instructions, and a symbol indicating it is not suitable for children under three years old, with a barcode of 8019050249637.

Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market and seized from the importer. The record does not specify what actions an affected consumer should take.
