CPSC, Crosman Corporation Announce Recall of Air Pistols

05074 · Recalled 2004-12-22 · CPSC page

Description

The recalled air pistols include the Walther models CP Sport, CP99, and Nighthawk manufactured throughout 2003. The recalled models have a serial number of "J3," which is located on the right side of the air pistol. The Walther CP Sport and CP99 CO2 air pistols capture the look and feel of a Walther firearm. The Nighthawk air pistol is outfitted with a compensator, red dot sight, flashlight and a mounting system. If there is an asterisk inscribed next to the serial number, the air pistol is not part of the recall.

Hazards

The air pistols' safety might move from the engaged or "safe" position to the disengaged or "fire" position when the trigger is pulled once or more and then released. This poses a risk of serious injury if the air pistol is loaded and unintentionally fired.

Reported injuries

None reported.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these air pistols immediately and contact the company to receive a free inspection and repair or replacement unit.
