EU Safety Gate Alert
Summary A grey/black laser engraver sold online by Vevor does not have adequate safety features to protect users from laser radiation exposure. The device's safety mechanisms can be bypassed and lacks proper shielding, which could allow direct or reflected laser beams to reach a person's eyes and cause vision damage. The product fails to meet EU safety requirements for machinery and laser equipment.
- Recalling firm
- Vevor
- Product
- Grey/black laser engraver, around 15 cm high. Product sold online.
- Reason
- Because the safety mechanisms are easily bypassed, and because of the lack of a protective shielding, direct access to laser radiation from the reflected laser beam during operation is possible. Looking directly into the laser beam or exposure via scattered radiation could damage a person’s sight. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive or with European standard EN 60825-1.
