Laser Safety Advisory
Resource Description
The laser safety community has recently developed concerns about the availability of affordable handheld laser pointers so dangerously high-powered that even instantaneous exposure to the direct beam could result in permanent, catastrophic eye injury. These products are available through third-party sellers on seemingly reputable marketplaces such as Amazon.com and are being marketed with innocuous descriptions like camping supplies, pet toys, and tactical flashlights.
