Affected Products

This recall involves Barnett Outdoors Black Widow slingshots. The recalled slingshot is about 6 inches tall. It has a black plastic handgrip with red linear rubber studs on the palm side, a silver metal fork and silver metal folding wrist brace. The folding wrist brace has a black, soft plastic wrist strap. The wrist strap on recalled slingshots does not have an X where the ends of the wrist strap slide onto the wrist brace. The slingshot was sold with translucent beige tubular rubber bands with a gray suede pouch attached.

Why Was This Recalled?

The slingshot's wrist strap can slip off the wrist brace when the slingshot's pouch is pulled back which can result in the body of the slingshot snapping back and striking the user.

Where Was This Sold?

Distribution information not available.
