Taser Safety Boosts Shares

Taser shares went up for the second day in a row thanks to support from the Defense Department. The company is under investigation from the SEC to determine the safety of Taser's stun guns. After a study on health effects from Taser's products performed by the Air Force Research Laboratory, and commissioned by the Pentagon's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, Capt. Dan McSweeney, spokesman for the directorate, maintained Taser's safety assurance. "We have stated that Tasers are generally safe and effective," McSweeney said. "If we didn't that think that was the case, we wouldn't have recommended that the services purchase and field Tasers." The defense department supported these conclusions.
