Hasbro is recalling their Nerf N-Strike Recon Blasters due the possibilities of injuries to children. This particular toy is yellow with a black handle and orange plunger, trigger, and reload clip. The word Nerf is in black lettering on each side of the toy. Hazards on the blaster are from the plunger which will pull a child’s skin during use. It can result in injury to the face, chest and/or neck. There is a report of injuries to 46 children from ages 4-12 and it resulted in bruising, abrasions, pinching/pinch marks, blood blisters and welts.

These toys were sold at Walmart, Toys R Us and Target as well as toy stores all over the nation from November 2007 through August 2008. Model number 63552 and UPC codes 653569272021 and 653569311218 can be found on the packaging. Only blasters with an exposed orange plunger are included in this recall. The toy was manufactured in China.

The toys must be taken away from the child immediately and you can contact Hasbro for a free cylindrical cover to prevent additional injuries. For information concerning this recall of the Nerf N-Strike Recon Blaster, contact Hasbro toll-free at (800) 245-0910 or go to the web site at www.hasbro.com/nerf.

EDIT NOTE: I went to the website and found this link to click on at Hasbro for the recall info.

On this blog, I intend to give you all the information that I can on the toys available. Sometimes, that will not be much. At other times, I can give you more. My aim is to make you more aware of what’s out there, what might be recalled for whatever reason and other pertinent information. For that reason, I am talking about Shining Stars toys that normally I would not mention.

Shining Stars toys are a product of China. Frankly, with all the recalls coming out of China, I am ready to not buy a single thing that comes out of there. Recently, they had yet another recall on chocolates from an extremely well known brand. You would definitely recognize the name. I cannot in good conscience recommend these toys.
