Notification of the Committee on Labels 
Re: Determination of Products Containing Lasers as Label-Controlled Products 
At present, products containing lasers have been widely used, such as computers, 
CD or DVD players, recorders, barcode scanners, photocopiers, fax machines, and laser pointers, 
including toys. The wrong way of using products containing lasers leads to accidents or injuries 
from laser, especially to the eyes and skin. Therefore, in order to protect the consumer's safety 
when using a product, it is appropriate to prescribe products containing lasers as label-controlled 
products.
