What happened

Nationmark Inc. is recalling approximately 54,000 "8 Shot Cap Guns" (model 706) that were distributed to food and drug chains in the southwestern United States between May 1988 and August 1991. The cap guns come in two styles: an orange plastic gun labeled "8 SHOTS" and "DETECTIVE SPECIAL," or a black, red and brown plastic gun labeled "BIG BANG-38," "8 SHOOTER," "MADE IN CHINA" and "DIAMONDBACK." These toys could emit sparks that may cause serious burns to users or bystanders. The company is aware of one burn injury to an adult that occurred in 1991, and this is the only known injury since the product was first sold in 1988.

Consumers who own these cap guns should stop using them immediately. The recall record specifies that affected consumers should return the cap gun to the store where it was purchased for a refund, or mail it to Nationmark Inc., 1270 Champion Circle, Carrollton, Texas 75006 for a full refund.
