Can a green laser pointer with low power be used for star-pointing?

Does being so over spec. like that not open the possibility of eye damage and law suites?

Eye damage, definitely. The 5mW labels are now meaningless. :undecided:
The pointers range from 30 to 100mW, which is more than enough to cause damage instantly.

Lawsuits, not so sure. I'm sure a more informed member could tell us about it.
