Switzerland will introduce a new legislation for a ban laser pointers. The import should be banned. The penalty is a fine over 40'000 Swiss francs.
The law is named: Federal Law on protection against hazards
to non-ionizing radiation and sound.
The last occasion to overturn the ban on laser pointer in Switzerland, is the direct contact to a member of parliament at the federal level. The responsible political expert group at federal level has the name "SOCIAL SECURITY AND HEALTH COMMITTEES SSHC".

Unfortunately, Switzerland does not have a large laser industry and lacks a lobby which campaigns against a ban.
I hope this call here in the forum will launch a counter-campaign and prevent the prohibition law. We need the support from abroad otherwise no laser pointer will be sold in Switzerland in the future.
