    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.
