The woman claims the 'bazooka style' T-shirt cannon shattered her finger
Orbit is shown firing a T-shirt cannon during a 2013 Astros game. By Cindy Boren Cindy Boren Reporter covering sports, with an emphasis on politics and national stories Email Bio Follow April 11 at 11:42 AM The prospect of leaving a sporting event with a free T-shirt can be plenty invigorating for paying customers. But it’s also easy to forget that the tightly compacted garments are sometimes fired from devices designed to send shirts deep into the stands.
“At first I was like, ‘Oh gosh! Like, that really hurt. But it was a T-shirt, surely it didn’t do anything. I’m sure it’s jammed,’ ” Jennifer Harughty tearfully told Houston’s KTRK. “As the rest of the game went on, I told my husband, I was like, ‘I think something’s really wrong with it.’ “ “It was a life-changing event that I think if it happened to anybody else . . . they would feel the same way,” Harughty told KRTK. “It has nothing to do with the Astros.”
“The Astros are aware of the lawsuit with allegations regarding Orbit’s T-shirt launcher,” the team said in a statement. “We do not agree with the allegations. The Astros will continue to use . . . popular T-shirt launchers during games. As this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment on this matter.”
