Hurt, no treatment Made Jul 22, 2020, sent to the company Aug 6, 2020, published by CPSC Aug 20, 2020
The product, in the report: “Dart Blaster” Purchased at Five Below store Distributed by “Whatkidswant inc.” UPC 687554326628 Green, white and purple toy gun with the Buzz light year character from the cartoon Toy Story. Comes with 4 or 5 foam projectiles (nerf gun style).
My 5-year-old son was given a “buzz light year dart Gun” bought at the “FiveBelow” store located at the shopping center by [REDACTED] in Fort Worth Texas yesterday (7/21/2020). When we got home and he opened the toy, he loaded the spring and pushed the trigger without a dart in the canon, unfortunately, my older son was next to him and the canon was aiming at his face. While this usually is not concerning as no dart or projectile was shot out of the canon, my son claimed he felt something hitting his face immediately, my first reaction was to tell him it could it be just air, but he kept claiming that it felt like something like liquid came out of it and it felt like burning. I immediately took the toy away, load the spring and shot it without a dart to the palm of my hand, I was not able to feel anything but the air hitting my hand but a few seconds later I notice a small dot of blood coming out of one of my fingers, carefully, I was able to pull a small piece of plastic out of my skin. I believe that if my son were not wearing his glasses, he could get some of this debris in his eyes and hurt him.
I have pictures of the product and the results of this malfunction. Please let me know how I can send them to you.
Thank you.
