Target is recalling approximately 168,000 hand-held Air Misters because the device can shatter while being used, posing a serious risk of injury. The recall follows three reports of the misters shattering, including one incident that resulted in a consumer receiving cuts (lacerations). These 8-inch tall personal cooling devices were sold in black, blue, green, and pink at Target stores nationwide between February and May 2012 for about $2.50. Consumers should immediately stop using these misters and return them to any Target store for a full refund.
The pressurized clear plastic cylinder can spontaneously shatter during operation. This can project plastic shards toward the user, which has already caused at least one laceration injury.
