Crosman is recalling approximately 16,000 semi-automatic style air pistols, models C21, C31, and 9-C31BRM. These black air pistols use CO2 cartridges to propel plastic BBs and can be identified by specific serial numbers starting with 12J, 12K, 12L, 12M, 13A, 13B, or 13C. The products were sold at sporting goods and mass merchandise stores nationwide from November 2012 through June 2013 for between $45 and $60. Consumers should stop using the pistols and contact Crosman for a free replacement or full refund.
The air pistols can explode when exposed to high temperatures, causing the plastic casing to shatter and propel broken pieces into the air. This poses a significant risk of serious eye injuries and other impact injuries to the user or bystanders.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled air pistols, remove the CO2 cartridge and contact Crosman for instructions to return the air pistols to Crosman for a free replacement air gun or a full refund.
