Product Details
| Product name | “Blue Box” Copter Toy Helicopter |
| Description | The Combat Copter is a plastic toy helicopter with a plastic rotating propeller and a launching pad with a crank and a trigger release. To operate the copter, the individual connects the copter to the launching pad with a crank and a trigger release. To operate the copter, the individual connects the copter to the launching pad in a snap locking notch. When the crank is turned, the propeller on the copter begins to rotate. Once sufficient propeller speed has been obtained, the trigger release is pulled to launch the helicopter forward into the air. |
| Problem | In some instances, instead of flying forward, the copter flew backward into the operator’s face causing injury. In other instances, the helicopter released from the launching pad prior to the operator pulling the trigger release and flew into the operator’s face. Both instances can result in laceration injuries to the face. |
