Reported risk: The blue, yellow and black GL-X200™ Estes Air™ Powered Rocket Systems contain two blue rockets with yellow foam tips and are recommended for children 8 years of age and older. "ESTES AIR" is printed in black and white lettering in a 6-inch wide yellow oval on the front of the pump. Underneath the pump appear the words, "Made in China." Rocket pumps that have a label that reads, "WARNING: Stay away from rocket when pumping and launching" are not included in this recall. Hazards: The rockets' foam tips can break off, exposing sharp edges that can cause face lacerations or eye injuries to consumers. The rocket systems also have weak pump handles that can break during use, posing a risk of hand lacerations to consumers.
