Plain-English summary

The affected pre-charged pneumatic air rifles were manufactured by Meca Evanix of South Korea and sold by Air Venturi, Pyramyd Air, Top Airgun, and Straight Shooters stores from January 2012 through March 2012 for about $1,800. Air Venturi has not received any reports of the safety switch being overcome.
