It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very 
similar to the genuine product are made available to purchase in 
some markets. Some of these battery packs are not adequately 
protected with internal protection to meet the requirements of 
appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these battery 
packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not 
liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a 
counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used we 
would recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
