What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

KEE Action Sports LLC is recalling approximately 1,400 BT SA-17 paintball markers due to an injury hazard. The markers are made of aluminum, resemble a pistol, and are black with the model number BT SA-17 printed on both sides. They use a horizontally-fed magazine and require a 12g CO2 cartridge.

The hazard occurs when users attempt to pierce the CO2 cartridge by closing the lever to the cartridge chamber. In this situation, the cartridge can fly out of the marker, posing an injury hazard to consumers. No incidents or injuries have been reported.

The recalled markers were sold at paintball fields, arenas, stores, and retailers from May 2010 through August 2010 for about $130. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled paintball markers. They can return the markers to KEE or the retailer from which the product was purchased for a free repair, or contact KEE for the repair parts and installation instructions.
