The red plastic rings of 8 or 12 individual caps are packed on cards 4-3/4 by 6 inches containing 27 or 18 rings. The retail price for each card was 87 cents. A total of 8,188 blister pack cards were sold before the product was removed from Wal-Mart store shelves beginning November 8, 1989. Daisy is offering a full refund of the purchase price to consumers who have any of these caps.
