Quoted: You probably just hit a wrong key or two typing it in but I don't think the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has an interest in that sort of thing. Unless FDA stands for something else that I'm not aware of. Yes, the Food & Drug Administration controls the distribution of all commercial lasers in the US. Own a CD player? On the inside somewhere will be a sticker or information plate describing the type of laser and the FDA approval info. Reason? Lasers can damage your eyesight, and infrared lasers, due to their wavelength, can blind you in seconds, and are very dangerous for that reason. The government is far more worried about you blinding people with a laser than you shooting at them with a laser-aimed rifle. Seriously. -Troy |
