What is this? This is a laser engraving machine sold under the brand Vevor. It uses a strong laser that can hurt your eyes if you look directly at it.

What's happening? The machine’s safety features are weak. The laser beam can escape, and there is no proper shield to protect you. This means you could accidentally look into the laser and hurt your eyes.

Does this affect me? If you use or are near this machine in Germany, you could be at risk of eye damage from the laser.

What should I do? Stop using the machine right away. Ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice before using it again.
