Plain-English summary

Hasbro, Inc. is recalling the Super Soaker XP 20 and Super Soaker XP 30 hand-held water blasters. The recall is due to decorative stickers on the water tanks that contain levels of lead in the ink exceeding the federal lead content ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

About 52,900 units were sold exclusively at Target from March 2020 to July 2020. The Super Soaker XP 20 (model E6286) is green and orange, while the Super Soaker XP 30 (model E6289) is orange and blue. Both models feature "Nerf Super Soaker" and the model number printed on a sticker on the side of the blaster. The products were manufactured in India.

No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Hasbro Inc. for instructions on how to return the product and receive a full refund. Consumers will be asked to unscrew the tank from the blaster and return the tank to the manufacturer using a postage prepaid label.
