The New York-based Empire State Consumer Project has asked the Hasbro Board of Directors to stop producing “assault-style” Nerf guns.
One of the Nerf blasters the group is targeting is the Ultra One. It is a drum fed toy gun holding 25 soft darts.
Empire State Consumer Project Director Carol Chittenden thinks that parents that buy these toy guns are bad examples for their kids.
“It's a matter of this being a very vulnerable consumer group. Children buy what they see, and we're not sure this is driven by market demand for assault weapon toys by children or the industry creating the demand,” said Chittenden.
