Emergency room Made Aug 27, 2012, sent to the company Sep 4, 2012, published by CPSC Sep 25, 2012
The product, in the report: The Mega Rocket is a toy rocket launched into the air by using two rubber bands. I have included several photographs of the Mega Rocket which further describe the product.
A 14 year old boy purchased a Mega Rocket toy from Winn-Dixie in Jacksonville, FL, on October 16, 2011. On that same date, the boy launched the rocket using the instructed method for a single individual. In the launch process, he was struck in the left eye by the Mega Rocket and experienced severe injury and blindness in his eye as a result thereof.
The Mega Rocket toy is unreasonably dangerous because when launched as instructed, it passes at high rates of speed within inches of the user’s face. This creates a high risk of being struck in the face by the Mega Rocket which can cause serious injury, including blindness. The Mega Rocket is not safe for children 8 years of age as advertised and is not made of “Safe Soft Foam.”
