What is this? This is a toy pirate blade and glove set from the game Assassin’s Creed. It has a hidden blade that can pop out too easily.

What's happening? The blade can come out by accident because the trigger is too loose and the safety catch does not work well. One injury has already happened.

Does this affect me? If you own this toy, especially if you have children, you could be at risk of an injury.

What should I do? Stop using the toy right away and ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help.
