Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating potential firing and CO₂ pressure-system defects affecting Byrna less-lethal launchers, including reports of misfires, gas leaks, and malfunctioning valves or seals.
Some Byrna owners have reported pulling the trigger multiple times without the launcher firing, experiencing unexpected CO₂ leakage, or encountering problems with the launcher’s pressure system. In 2026, one owner described repeated firing failures and leakage, followed by a reported manufacturer repair involving the valve system. Other consumer complaints have raised concerns about unreliable firing and pressure-related components.
Migliaccio & Rathod is investigating whether certain Byrna launchers contain defective valves, seals, or other CO₂ system components that may cause the products to misfire, lose pressure, or require repeated repairs or replacement.

- Spending money on replacement CO₂ cartridges, repairs, or launcher replacements.
Potential Claims May Include:
- Defective valves, seals, or CO₂ pressure-system components;
