About 9,600 Special Forces and Police SWAT Toy Gun Sets have been recalled, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just announced.
The Special Forces and Police SWAT Toy Gun Sets, which are being recalled by retailer Dollar General, of Goodlettsville, Tennessee and imported by Dolgencorp LLC, of Goodlettsville, Tennessee are constructed with orange tips located at the end of the toy gunsâ€™ barrels. These tips are designed to distinguish them from real guns, can easily be removed from the barrels, and pose a choking hazard to children. To date, no incidents or injuries have been reported.
The recalled Special Forces and Police SWAT Toy Gun Sets, which were sold at Dollar General stores in 35 states from September 2009 through October 2009 for about $5, and were manufactured in China, a country long associated with products that have been found to be dangerous and linked with an increasing string of recalls.
