Plain-English summary

Exploding Kittens Inc. is recalling safety goggles sold with the Throw Throw Burrito Extreme Going Pro Edition Dodgeball Card Outdoor Game sets. The goggles contain glass lenses, which pose a laceration hazard if they shatter. The company has received two reports of goggle lenses breaking or cracking, but no injuries have been reported.

The recalled goggles were sold exclusively on Kickstarter.com from February 2019 through March 2019 for about $85 as part of the outdoor game set. Approximately 10,500 units were sold in the United States, and about 735 units were sold in Canada. The goggles were included in a neon orange nylon drawstring backpack with the game name in black lettering.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled goggles. To destroy them, users should use scissors to cut the goggles down the flexible plastic center above the nose bridge and through the elastic strap. Exploding Kittens will replace the goggles with new safety-tested goggles upon receipt of an email containing the consumer's mailing address and an image proving the goggles have been destroyed. The company is also contacting all known purchasers directly.
