HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR EYE AND OTHER IMPACT INJURIES !
 

W.A.T.C.H. OUT!  This Disney “rocket launcher”, named after a popular movie character, uses air pressure from pumping a “tube launcher”, which “shoots” a rocket “up to 20 feet!” The packaging contains inconsistent labeling, stating in bold letters that the projectile toy is “FOR ALL AGES!”, while also advising in smaller letters on the back that it is “not recommended for children under three years of age.” The rocket, despite the manufacturer’s proclamation that it is “safe”, launches at a high rate of speed with the potential to cause serious eye injuries.
