On March 15th, International Consumer Rights Day, the Jiangxi Provincial Consumer Rights Protection Committee released a short film for public welfare, calling for the protection of children's health and staying away from laser pointers.
In recent years, children playing with laser pointers have caused permanent vision loss and even blindness events have occurred from time to time.
Everyone can't help asking, how can a small laser pointer be so harmful?
Scientific experiments have shown that when the laser passes through the eyeball, the laser will be focused on the retina, causing an instantaneous increase in temperature and destroying the photoreceptor cells of the retina. When the laser energy is strong enough, it can even burn the retina, and this damage is irreversible. For this reason, the Jiangxi Provincial Consumer Protection Committee reminds parents that laser pointers are not toys. Do not buy them for children. Highly vigilant should be Place it in a place out of children’s reach. For children, we also hope to remind our friends around us to stay away from the hazards of laser pointers. Let us work together to protect consumer safety and create a healthy and harmonious consumer environment.
