Last October the FDA proposed banning laser pointers that are not red or red-orange by designating green, blue, violet, yellow as well as other colors as "defective". These currently account for 95% of the 7000+ reported incidents per year in the U.S. where a laser beam is aimed toward an aircraft.
Remarkably, since 2004 there have been over 55,000 reported laser/aircraft illuminations in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Italy, although none have resulted in any accidents, nor in any reported pilot eye injuries.
