In Italy illegal dumping of

the product by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions pursuant to Legislative Decree n. 49 (14/03/2014).

The product's remote control is powered by a battery, which according to the European Directive 2013/56/EU, cannot be disposed of with normal household waste. Please inquire about the local regulations regarding the separate collection of batteries: a correct disposal allows to avoid negative consequences for the environment and health.
