Strayed from the true path of the Jedi they have. For not the power of the laser important is. No, the sound 'vooom' when you swing it the true lightsaber makes.
Everything in this piece is pure fluff. The allegation that it could cause cancer is quite laughable, it's a blue-laser given that for the effect to actually happen it requires the light to be emitted in a very narrow band of the spectrum it should be impossible for it to be emitting ultra-violet light. They're not posting that it can cause UV-burn of the eyes, just that it's exceptionally bright.
So unless this company discovered a magical type of ionizing radiation in the visible spectrum, there's major misleading information here. Besides, the laser is powerful enough to cause conflagration of the skin, so there likely wouldn't be enough skin cells left to actually be concerned about getting skin cancer from where the beam touched you.
Hmm. I'm not sure about this. Radiation is radiation - whether it's blue or UV or radio or x-rays. A sufficiently intense dose of any EM radiation will be potentially harmful. As an example the Visible spectrum sits between micro-waves and UV or x-ray - all of which are potentially harmful.
If it's flaying skin I would say that definitely there could a risk.
