  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 27, 2014, sent to the company Mar 31, 2014, published by CPSC Apr 14, 2014

    The product, in the report: EXPANDABLE IMPACT POLICE BATON 26” OVERALL

    On 11/18/2013 I bought an EXPANDABLE IMPACT POLICE BATON 26” OVERALL from this company. Upon receiving it the second time I slung it open the end piece shot out of the end like a gun and went into a suit case that was in front of me. Fearing if that would have been one of my grandchildren it may have severely injured them. I call the company right away and advised them of the defect. I insisted a manager assure me that Manufacturer (in China) would be notified of the defect. It turned out they just put a sale supervisor on the phone. They apologized, assured me it was isolated and wanted to send me another one. They did on 11/22/2013; the first time I threw it out the end came out of it just like the other one. I contacted the company again and asked if they even saw the products or if they came straight from China. They assured me they have a warehouse in Moultrie, Ga. and that they did another sampling check of the product and on the pallet they had, all the Batons worked correctly. I don’t buy it. I did send both of them back and they did refund my money, but not the shipping as they promised. I’ll be glad to order another one if needed for evidence, but someone is going to get seriously hurt, if not killed if this is slung out facing a person. This weapon needs to be recalled before someone dies. Maybe someone’s little child.
