Beware, laser rays on the toys can make blind

Today a lot of children toys that are equipped with a laser rays. No exception with toy laser which is used during the match ball. Although it seems trivial, it turns out the toy laser light can harm the eyes. Based on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the United States, the toy laser can be caused blindness in children.

"Laser light is directed directly in the eye can be dangerous and injure eyes directly, especially if the laser used is strong enough," said Dan Hewett of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health at the FDA.

Injuries that is caused by lasers on the eye is usually not painful, however in a certain period of time part of the eye can be damaged. This damage could have been not known up to weeks or months until a permanent damage. Several types of lasers that are usually found on toy is a laser beam on a toy gun and a small lamp that is equipped by laser rays such as that is used by football fans.

FDA further emphasize this for the kids because the laser light is usually found in children's toys and rarely noticed by an adult. Because it is sold as a toy, is oftentimes the parents and the kids will think rays it is safe.

2. Do not point the laser rays on the surface that can reflect light.

3. Remember, that direct the rays that is too bright at people when driving can lead to accidents.
