Paintball Markers Recalled for Ejecting CO2 Cartridges, Hits Users

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridges can be forcibly ejected out the back of the paintball marker and break the plastic screw-on cap. This poses a serious risk of injury to the paintball marker's operator, who can be hit forcefully by the CO2 cartridges or the plastic screw-on cap. Overtightening the screw-on cap after the cartridges are pierced can result in a serious impact injury.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Blade Turbo™ paintball marker and contact Brass Eagle to receive a free replacement screw-on cap, which is black, instead of clear.
