I’m Gonna Go With “That’s a Good Reason for a Recall.”

Per the CPSC announcement:

The scope mount on these [GAMO air] rifles can be installed incorrectly, causing the rifle to unexpectedly fire. This poses a serious injury hazard to consumers.

Perhaps of interest, the GAMO page addressing the device has the most current date of September 20, 2006.  Evidently it took a couple of months to decide that this issue warranted a recall rather than just a safety notice.
