What Is This?
They were water rockets that attached to a common hose. The Child would stomp on the launcher (which builds pressure) and that would send the rocket flying.
What Happened?
There were at least 37 cases of the rocket flying off unpredictably causing lacerations to Children.
Aftermath?
The CPSC banned these and there was a recall issued.
