It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the genuine
products 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 recommend that a genuine Panasonic battery pack is used.
