Watchdog Wednesday: Laser pen peril
Laser pens are sold as toys, but in reality, they can be anything but... we look at the growing misuse of these seemingly-harmless playthings. Watchdog and BBC Three are working together. If you have a story about a scam or any other rip off you'd like to shout about, you can contact the producers at Watchdog directly on watchdog@bbc.co.uk and put "BBC Three" in the subject heading.
