Hazard

The air pistols' safety might move from the engaged or "safe" position to the disengaged or "fire" position when the trigger is pulled once or more and then released. This poses a risk of serious injury if the air pistol is loaded and unintentionally fired.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these air pistols immediately and contact the company to receive a free inspection and repair or replacement unit.

Incidents & injuries

None reported.

Product description

The recalled air pistols include the Walther models CP Sport, CP99, and Nighthawk manufactured throughout 2003. The recalled models have a serial number of "J3," which is located on the right side of the air pistol. The Walther CP Sport and CP99 CO2 air pistols capture the look and feel of a Walther firearm. The Nighthawk air pistol is outfitted with a compensator, red dot sight, flashlight and a mounting system. If there is an asterisk inscribed next to the serial number, the air pistol is not part of the recall.

Sold on

Sporting goods stores and gun shops nationwide sold the CP Sports and CP 99s from February 2003 through July 2004 and the Nighthawks from October 2003 through July 2004 for between $85 and $300.
