Well i dont think so but you can get arrested if you do something bad with the etc, shine them at aircraft, blind some one and so on ...

In general lasers of 1mW or lower power are legal without a license. Lasers of higher power must be licensed, the users have special training, and often automatic cutoff mechanisms must be installed to shut off the laser if someone enters the room. Following those restrictions any laser can be legal.

However even with a 1mW laser, don't aim it at a car, airplane, etc. It might briefly blind the driver, pilot, etc. causing an accident that you would be legally responsible for! The laser may be legal but the action isn't.
