The product, in the report: Nerf Rebelle Agent Bow Blaster from Target
I was assembling the toy bow and arrow for my daughter, and half of the bow snapped back and slammed my hand, causing serious pain. I tried to put it together again, but when it was clear the two pieces were not going to fit together properly in order to screw them together, I went to remove the two pieces. I stopped, not wanting to potentially injure my hand again, so I got scissors to cut the elastic rope that made the piece hit my hand so forcefully in the first place, knowing I would never allow my child to play with the toy because of its obvious hazards. When I cut the elastic string, it snapped so hard, it left welt marks on both of my thighs, through pants. At this point, I put the toy in a place no children would get to it and tried to call the company, but they were closed. Obviously, the tension in the elastic string is too great to have the consumer be responsible for assembling the bow and arrow. The pain is persisting into my wrist and I will follow up with my doctor if it continues to persist to see if anything is broken.
