If you have been injured by The Mega Rocket is a toy rocket launched into the air by using two rubber bands. I have included several photographs of the Mega Rocket which further describe the product. you are not alone. You may have a case against FUNTASTIC TOYS but you should speak to a lawyer if you are wanting to file a claim. The following is an incident that caused injury to a consumer and was reported.
Description of what happened:
A 14 year old boy purchased a Mega Rocket toy from Winn-Dixie in Jacksonville, FL, on October 16, 2011. On that same date, the boy launched the rocket using the instructed method for a single individual. In the launch process, he was struck in the left eye by the Mega Rocket and experienced severe injury and blindness in his eye as a result thereof. The Mega Rocket toy is unreasonably dangerous because when launched as instructed, it passes at high rates of speed within inches of the user’s face. This creates a high risk of being struck in the face by the Mega Rocket which can cause serious injury, including blindness. The Mega Rocket is not safe for children 8 years of age as advertised and is not made of “Safe Soft Foam.”

No. You do not have a lawsuit. My two sons have these rockets, and I teach them common sense. My son’s who are five and 10 know to watch out for the rocket when falling back to the ground. The rocket does it fall that fast where a person cannot get out of the way.
I feel bad for the fourteen year old, but things happen.
We live in such a “sue happy” world now.
