Plain-English summary

Daisy Manufacturing Company, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling 8-shot and 12-shot ring caps. These products were distributed nationwide through Wal-Mart Stores. The affected caps are identified by cards marked "No. 4508" (8-shot) or "No. 4512" (12-shot) and were purchased at Wal-Mart since October 1989. The red plastic rings are packed on cards measuring 4-3/4 by 6 inches, containing either 27 or 18 rings, with a retail price of 87 cents per card.

The recall is being issued because the caps may ignite prematurely if dropped or due to friction, such as when carried in a pocket. A total of 8,188 blister pack cards were sold before the product was removed from Wal-Mart store shelves beginning November 8, 1989.

Consumers who have these caps should contact Daisy for a full refund of the purchase price and directions for safely disposing of the caps. Consumers can call 1-800-643-3458 (or 1-636-1200 in Arkansas) or write to Daisy Manufacturing Company, P.O. Box 220, Rogers, AR 72756.
