Over the past several weeks, non-PepperBall projectiles have been mis-identified as PepperBall™ in high-profile incidents covered by the news media. Tragically, these non-PepperBall munitions included metal shrapnel that caused injuries.
“While incredibly effective in helping law enforcement de-escalate potentially violent situations, PepperBalls are deliberately designed to be non-lethal. It’s disheartening when coverage mistakenly identifies our products with those that caused serious bodily harm,” said Bob Plaschke, CEO of PepperBall. “We believe that every law enforcement situation is better off when non-lethal tools like ours are available and properly used.”
PepperBall projectiles do not contain metal. They are made of frangible plastic designed to burst upon impact with a mere ten foot pounds of energy, the lowest of any less lethal tool. PepperBall projectiles are Certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards for quality and environmental management and are proudly made in the USA. PepperBall has become the gold standard in the industry by ensuring the projectiles are more accurate, more consistent, and disperse a larger cloud than competitive offerings.
PepperBall provides non-lethal tools to thousands of police agencies in the US and around world. With millions of PepperBall projectiles deployed over the past twenty years, there have been no reported fatalities caused by PepperBall products.
