YES. So are all the other "realistic looking" trademarks and lettering on airsoft "toys" coming out of HK. That's why we love them so much because they look the part right?

Barring any unfortunate and often hysterical screw-ups in English translation, these so-called labels are realistic enough forgeries to fool pretty much everyone but they're not worth the sticky paper they're printed on. If an HK-based manufacturer actually had to go through the detailed process required to certify the laser to US-FDA specifications (Health Canada uses same criteria) as do the real deal manufacturers, they wouldn't be nearly as cheap as they are now for you to buy off the internet or elsewhere.

As said earlier by many including me, if you have to ask - origin = Asia - then it's not safe and should not be permitted for airsoft, particularly true for green and IR lasers.

Hope that's enough to answer your questions?
