Parents, a toy recall to tell you about.

The Nerf n-Strike Recon Blaster CS-6 is being recalled because the plunger can pinch a child if its placed near the skin. So far there have been 46 reports of children getting hurt by the toy.

The recall only includes the models with an orange handle. Nerf is offering a free repair kit for anyone who has the gun. You can contact Nerf for a free replacement kit at 1-800-245-0910 or on the web at Nerf dot com.

Chris. I totally agree, Im only 20 but I know that kids will learn if they pinch themselves a couple times-they're not going to do it again. There is a difference between recalling a product because of health safty, and recalling because of shear stupidity!

I'm 35, were there toy recalls when I was a child? Or did we just get pinched by toy and learn not to do what got us pinched again? Sheesh, it's a nerf toy.
