1010 WINS: Nerf Football Recalled Before Super Bowl
"The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday that Hasbro Inc. of Pawtucket, R.I., is voluntarily recalling about 294,000 Nerf Big Play Footballs because their hard plastic interior frame poses a safety hazard. The top on the ball flips open to reveal an erasable screen that can be used to plan football plays.

Consumers can visit the company's Web site at www.nerf.com or call Hasbro at 866-637-3244 for more information on how to return the footballs."

The whole purpose of nerf footballs used to be that they were soft & great for throwing around---to install hard screens which pop up necessitating stiches and/or medical attention is a really stupid idea. If people wish to record the football plays, let them use a separate handheld palm gadget, don't install one of those things within a football, something meant to be thrown.
