CPSC, Crosman Corporation Announce Recall of Air Pistols

Is my product affected?

Walther CP Sport, CP99, and Nighthawk CO2 Air Pistols

  • Brand Umarex, of Arnsburg, Germany

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Crosman Corporation is recalling certain Walther air pistols manufactured in 2003 because their safety mechanisms may shift from the safe position to the fire position when the trigger is pulled and released. This defect creates a risk of serious injury if the pistol is loaded and fires unintentionally. The recalled models are the Walther CP Sport, CP99, and Nighthawk. To identify whether an air pistol is affected, consumers should look for a serial number reading "J3" on the right side of the gun; if an asterisk appears next to the serial number, the pistol is not part of the recall.

If you own one of these recalled air pistols, you should stop using it immediately and contact Crosman Corporation to arrange a free inspection and repair or replacement unit.

Hazard

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.

What should I do?

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

Details from the source

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.
