Hasbro Inc. has announced a voluntary recall of a model of its Nerf Blasters
because a child's skin could get caught in moving parts.
Hasbro says a movable plunger on the Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 Blaster could
pull the user's skin during firing of the toy.
There have been two reported pinching incidents in Canada and more than 40
incidents of bruising, abrasions and pinching in the United States.
The toy bears a model number of 63552 (and a UPC code of 653569272021) on the
packaging.
The toy is made in China and sold at Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, Zellers, discount
stores and toy stores from November 2007 to August 2008.
Consumers are asked to take the toy away from children and contact Hasbro for
a free cylindrical cover to prevent additional injuries.
