Our Class II (<1 mW) laser pointers (our "Super Safe" line) are preferred by schools and teachers, especially when kids will be handling them. These are considered safe by the FDA as long as they are not pointed directly in the retina for prolonged periods of time.

Class IIIR laser pointers (<5 mW rating) should normally be handled by adults. They can damage a person's retina if pointed directly at the eye for many seconds to minutes, but our natural "look away" reflex usually prevents any damage by keeping exposure short.

Laser Classroom™ guarantees compliance with FDA Safety Regulations on all products

At Laser Classroom, we are fully committed to the safety and compliance of our laser products. We work only with the most reputable manufacturers, with whom we have had relationships for more than 10 years in the laser pointers business. These manufacturers conduct extensive safety testing for both power output and IR filter placement. We receive the data at our USA warehouse where our staff conducts spot testing on each shipment received to ensure continued compliance. Laser Classroom™ guarantees that our green and red laser pointers are fully compliant with all FDA safety regulations.

We recommend our Laser Blox, which are specially designed for classroom demonstrations and experiments. They won't roll, can be stuck on a white board, and can be stacked magnetically for ray experiments.
