Dumb Federal Ruling of the Day: Blow Gun Recall

Consumer Product Safety Commission Release #05-225 was for the voluntary recall of African Blow Dart Guns. Why? The hazard listed is that “Consumers may have mistakenly purchased the dart guns thinking it was a decorative walking stick, posing the risk of injury if someone used the gun for its intended purpose.” Huh? People might buy a blowgun, think it’s a walking stick, and get hurt when they use it as a blowgun?
