Plain-English summary
Gamo USA is voluntarily recalling approximately 1,335 Pre-Compressed Air-Pistols, Model AF-10, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall was initiated because the BB air gun may discharge unexpectedly, posing a risk of serious injury to users.
The affected product is a compact, 10-shot repeater air pistol that measures 8.6 inches long and weighs 1.3 pounds. It features a rifled steel barrel, manual crossbolt trigger safety, and an adjustable rear sight. The pistol was sold nationwide from June 1994 to April 1997 for approximately $81.50 each through authorized dealers, gun shops, and sporting goods dealers.
Gamo USA received one report of the pistol discharging unexpectedly, which resulted in a minor injury. Consumers should stop using the AF-10 air pistol immediately. To resolve the issue, consumers can return the pistol to the place of purchase or send it to Gamo USA via UPS-COD. Gamo will replace the BB chamber housing with a redesigned part and return the pistol within two weeks, including a free box of 500 BBs.
