What is this? This is a computer mouse called Air Mouse. It has a small circuit board inside. The solder on that board has too much lead in it.

What's happening? The lead in the mouse can harm the environment. Lead is a metal that should not be thrown away with normal trash.

Does this affect me? If you live in Sweden and own this mouse, it could pollute the environment when thrown out.

What should I do? Stop using the mouse. Ask your local store or waste center how to throw it away safely. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you are worried about lead.
