About 2,400 air guns from Soft Air USA sold exclusively at The Sports Authority are being recalled. The Break-Barrel Air Rifle can discharge while the safety is engaged, posing a risk of injury to consumers and those nearby.
Soft Air reports no incidents and no injuries.
The recalled product is a Swiss Arms break-barrel, single-shot air
rifle. The rifle is 34 inches long with a black barrel. It has a wood
stock with checkering etched on the grip and forend and a rubber recoil
pad on the butt. It has a metal fixed front sight, a fold-down rear
sight and a receiver for mounting optics. The rifle comes with a 4×32
millimeter scope. “XT32” and “Cal.4.5/.177” are on the left side of the
barrel hinge plate. The rifle is cocked by swinging the barrel down on
its hinge to “break” the gun open for loading, then swinging the barrel
back up into firing position. Model number “288719” is located on the
barrel near the rear sight.
Remedy: Consumers should return recalled Swiss Arms air rifles to Sports Authority for a full refund.
