It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the
genuine product are made available for 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.
