The recalled Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 Blasters are for children age 6 and up. The toy blaster is yellow with a black handle and orange plunger, trigger, and reload clip. The word "NERF" in black lettering is on both sides of the blaster and the word "ARMED" is indented on the orange plunger. "RECON CS-6" is on the gray cocking mechanism. There are five interchangeable parts including the shoulder stock, the flip-up sight, barrel extension, quick reload clip, and dual-mode light beam. Model number 63552 and UPC codes 653569272021 and 653569311218 can be found on the packaging. Immediately take the recalled toy blasters away from children and contact Hasbro for a free cylindrical cover to prevent additional injuries. Hasbro
