In Germany there are no warnings regarding to photosensitive epilepsy

any 'averaged healthy' person in Germany had PSE caused by flashing
television, even not that there was a hysteria after they send reports
about PSE.
Btw. the only artist's colours with a health label I own, are from
England, warnings about chemical thingy that in Germany are used as food
colouring. So in England there might be a hysteria, but not in Germany,
those things are less known here.
I really have issues with degassing of some cable jackets. There
shouldn't be degassing for a microphone cable, even if it shouldn't be
unhealthy, it's unpleasant and artist tend to be divas and IMO it's ok
to expect that a cable doesn't smell, a monitor doesn't flare.
I won't use a monitor at 60 Hz.

I'm not sure if it's a myth or true,
it's said that stroboscope effects
can cause epileptic shocks even for averaged people.
Thanks for the enlightenment... Oh no, hang on, my memory banks are
informing me that OFCOM has for the past ten years, obliged UK TV
stations to warn viewers when their programmes contain 'flashing
imagery'.
