Press Release Summary = D&L Company, which makes the safe Ultra Stomp Rocket® Warns
Parents about dangerous knockoffs still on the shelves this year


Press Release Body = Los Angeles - Each year the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) warns the public about dangerous toys, but California Toy Maker
D&L Company warns there are still hazardous toy air rockets being sold.

"The CPSC knows there are toy rockets still being sold today that are exact copies
of rockets they classified in 2003 as 'hazardous,'" said Fred Ramirez, CEO and
President, D & L Company, which has been making the award-winning Stomp Rocket® for
the last decade.

The Porterville, California toy maker was forced by the CPSC to take the original
Stomp Rocket® off the market, but according to Ramirez, the federal agency has
allowed knockoff rockets, of the exact design, to remain on store shelves.

"These rockets are violating the CPSC's own safety standards and design guidelines
set out for these types of toys."

Ramirez also said, even though the CPSC knows they are "hazardous" and still being
sold, the Commission has not recalled them or forced them off the market. "I would
really like to know why the CPSC doesn't extend its design requirements equally to
other toy rocket manufacturers? This is not only discrimination, but dangerous for
parents of innocent children across the country," he said.

Ramirez noted that most toy rockets have small nosecones that can enter the eye
socket and cause serious eye damage, including detached retinas.

D & L's ULTRA STOMP ROCKET® with its "OG-1" nose cone is a unique design. It is
larger than the eye socket and therefore reduces the possibility of the eye injuries
most associated with air or water powered rockets.

"We're very proud of our part in creating a category in the toy industry by creating
the Stomp Rocket®," explained Ramirez. "We're also very proud of being able to put
the safest nosecone in the industry on our new Ultra Stomp Rockets®."

The air-powered ULTRA STOMP ROCKET® requires no fuel or batteries and can be used
repeatedly. There are some rockets that are battery and water propelled on the
market with dangerous sharp, pointed tips.

CPSC states that toy air rockets are "hazardous". Referring specifically to rockets
with small diameter or pointed nose cones, the CPSC claims that they "present a
substantial product hazard", and that they have "caused corneal abrasions and
detached retinas leading to permanent vision loss."

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public
from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from more than 15,000 types of
consumer products under the agency\'s jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries and property
damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $700 billion
annually.
