SPY GEAR VIPER-BLASTER

Manufacturer or Distributor: Wild Planet Entertainment, Inc. Age Recommendation: “Ages 6+” Warnings: “Caution! Do not aim at eyes or face. To avoid injury: use only with darts designed for this product. Do not modify darts or blaster.”

From W.A.T.C.H. website: "Young children are encouraged to 'defend against enemy spies' with the 'viper-blaster' for 'split-second defense tactics' or as a 'precision shooter!' The blaster shoots the supplied 'darts' with enough force to potentially cause eye injuries."

I just love toy instructions that ask impulsive children to please use caution, or else risk permanent loss of vision. I'll take three Viper-Blasters, please! And while we're at it, how about a set of steak knives for the kiddos, too.
