X-15 Flying Model Rockets
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Estes-Cox is recalling the X-15 flying model rocket, a 1:44 scale replica of the North American Aviation hypersonic rocket plane. The affected rockets are approximately 13.5 inches long with a 5-inch wingspan, are colored black and yellow, and display the number 66670 on the tail. These rockets were sold both individually (item #1890) and as part of a starter kit (item #1412), with the item number appearing on the instruction sheet and above the bar code on the packaging.
The recall was issued because the rocket's side or engine retainer ring can separate during flight, causing the rocket to fall without the nose cone separating and the parachute deploying, which poses a risk of impact injury to people nearby. According to the recall notice, consumers who own these rockets should stop using them immediately and contact Estes-Cox for instructions on how to receive a replacement product.
