IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

To: Tippmann Sports Customers
From: Tippmann Sports Sales & Service
Subject: A-5® paintball marker end cap assemblies
Date: March 11, 2009

Dear Valued Tippmann Sports Partner,

 Tippmann Sports is issuing a voluntary recall of certain end cap assemblies on selected Tippmann® A-5® paintball markers.  The markers affected by this recall have serial numbers between 0409301 and 0422200, and were sold by Tippmann Sports to dealers and distributors between May 23, 2008 and September 24, 2008. Tippmann Sports has determined that some of these end cap assemblies may present a safety issue under certain conditions because there is a potential for the end cap assembly to break and/or eject.  As a result, Tippmann Sports is recalling and replacing all affected end cap assemblies from the marketplace. Consumers with A-5 markers with these serial numbers should stop using them immediately. 

SERIAL NUMBERS OF AFFECTED MARKERS
This voluntary recall is only for A-5 paintball markers of any configuration within the serial number range 0409301 to 0422200.  Serial numbers ending in an “R” have already been repaired and are not included in this recall. Location of serial number is on left side of A-5 marker.

CONSUMERS
Consumers should contact Tippmann Sports at (866) 841-3029 (260-749-6022, extension 3149 from outside the United States), go to www.tippmann.com/recall or send email to recall@tippmann.com to obtain a free repair kit.  This kit will include a new end cap assembly. Please have the serial number of the product available.

We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your efforts to help us resolve this issue.  Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
