Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is a small light-stick that wraps around your arm or leg. It is sold to make you easier to see at night.

What's happening? The light-stick does not glow brightly enough. This means drivers or cyclists may not spot you in the dark.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this light-stick in Finland, you could be at risk of an accident.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need safer lights for nighttime.
