Crosman Corp. has announced a recall of its Icon Air Rifles due to safety concerns. The recall, issued on April 25, 2024, affects approximately 2,500 units sold in the United States. The hazard arises from the potential for an uncocked and loaded air rifle to discharge unexpectedly if jolted or dropped, posing a significant risk of injury to users.
The recalled Icon Air Rifles come in .177 and .22 caliber variations, with model numbers CPI77S and CPI22S, respectively. The model numbers are located on the left-hand side of the rifle, while the name of the model is on the right-hand side. These PCP-Powered Bolt-Actioned air rifles were sold at various retailers nationwide, including Do It Best Hardware, True Value, Service Star, and Sportsman’s Guide stores, as well as online through Crosman’s website, Pyramyd Air, and Amazon.com, from March 2022 through March 2024, priced at approximately $310.
While only one report of an unintended discharge has been received thus far, the potential danger posed by these defective air rifles underscores the importance of consumer safety and product liability regulations. Individuals who have purchased these recalled rifles are advised to cease using them immediately and contact Crosman to arrange for a refund. Crosman is offering refunds in the form of a store credit or a refund check after the return of the air rifle. Consumers can register for the refund process on Crosman’s website, and the company will provide a box with instructions and prepaid postage for returning the rifle.
Filing a Product Injury Lawsuit
In cases where individuals have sustained injuries or damages as a result of using defective products like these recalled air rifles, they may have legal grounds to file a product liability lawsuit seeking compensation for their losses. Victims of such injuries may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Filing a product liability lawsuit involves several critical steps, starting with gathering evidence to support the claim. This evidence may include documentation of the injuries sustained, proof of purchase of the defective product, and any communication with the manufacturer or retailer regarding the issue. Victims will also need to identify and establish the liability of all parties involved in the production and distribution of the defective product.
Seeking legal representation from a skilled product liability attorney is essential for victims pursuing compensation through a lawsuit. An attorney can provide invaluable assistance at every stage of the legal process, from investigating the incident and building a strong case to negotiating with insurance companies and advocating for fair compensation in court, if necessary.
