The hazard involved is that overtightening the plastic screw-on cap after the CO2 12-gram cartridges are pierced can result in the 12-grams being forcibly ejected out the back of the marker, breaking the plastic screw-on cap. The player could receive a serious impact from the 12-grams or the screw-on cap. Out of nearly 250,000 markers of this type, 73 injuries have been reported, including an eye injury, bruises, and lacerations. |
