Heart fears as Taser police told: Don't aim for chest
(The Scotsman 23/10/2009)
TASER stun guns should not be fired into suspects' chests, the makers of the controversial devices have said. Manufacturer Taser International, which supplies the weapons used by police forces in Scotland, has started telling officers to avoid firing Tasers in the chest area, saying there was an "extremely low" risk of ill-effects on the heart. They also said that doing so could cause problems if forces have to defend legal action.
