W.A.T.C.H. OUT! ! This “Shooter”, which fires colorful rubber bands, is a “new” toy which the manufacturer promotes as “Old Fashioned Fun”. Incredibly, at the same time the packaging promotes “Family Fun”, there is cautionary language stating: “FOR TARGET PRACTICE ONLY! DO NOT AIM AT PEOPLE....” Rubber bands should never be sold as toys, and have the potential to cause serious eye injuries.
