Well snap. Seems like it might only affect examples sold in Europe.

The reason was surprising to me:
The decorative sticker on the water tank of the Super Soaker XP 20 and Super Soaker XP 30 water blasters may contain levels of lead in the ink that exceed regulatory limits. The presence of lead is limited to the decorative sticker affixed to the water tank of the blasters.
I assume that the lead is unlikely to leach from the sticker during use?

The link above suggests that affected people go here: https://www.supersoakerrecall.com/

Nice to see you back here too, cantab!

They've certainly come a long way from the original XP 20. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's kinda weird that of all the guns in their back catalog they choose to re-release these. It's also kinda weird that the sticker somehow has too much lead in it. That seems to be like something you just would not put in it, like, at all. But at least they are recalling it.

Well, 2020 keeps getting weirder. At least it's bringing some attention on social media about real waterguns.
