LOL...

Didn't the toy company expect this? Kids hurting their eyes with toy missles? I bet they did some research on how much profit they would make with the missle-firing toy (A), how much profit from a non-missle firing toy (B), and the amount of money spent off-court settlement with these cases (C). They figured it out that A-B > C, so they released with a missle anyway.
