Having VAST airgun and shooting experience, thought I'd offer some pertinent insights to (perhaps) prevent a stampede of over-reaction to this recall.
1) Given the current state of liability PARANOIA, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and the CPSC will (understandably) always err on the side of caution when it comes to trigger issues.
2) Remington did so; but in their testing of trigger 'failures' found EVERY suspect rifle's trigger had been monkeyed with!
3) After Daisy purchased production rights to the Smith & Wesson 78/79G Co2 pistol design, I naively returned a very nice S&W 78G to Daisy for re-sealing. It came back to me holding pressure fine, but with a hideously heavy and creepy trigger-action virtue of Daisy replacing the trigger with a litigation-proof piece-of-poop! They did that with no forewarning, and when I called to interrogate them they refused to return the original components. They turned a nice S&W into a POS with no approval from the owner.
4) In my many writings on the subject of triggers and trigger-smithing, I've always offered disclaimers to the effect, "Though simple triggers respond well to simple trigger-smithing, One must realize One's home-smithed trigger-action might not hold while one BEATS THE BUSHES." And, "To paraphrase, One should not let the giddiness of One's newfound trigger-smithing 'skills' overwhelm One's SURVIVAL INSTINCTS!"
5) I'll go out on a limb here and suggest it likely that the accidental discharge alluded to in the recall relates to either, A) Over-zealous adjustments of the sear-engagement and/or let-off weight screws (taken too far), B) Subsequent WEAR-IN of the sear edges with use that is TO BE EXPECTED, or quite likely, C) A combination of those elements.
6) Which brings us to the NUMBER ONE RULE OF GUN SAFETY- Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to destroy.
