If You Were Injured by a CVA Paramount Muzzleloader, You May Have a Case — Parker Law Group Can Help
Article updated July 17, 2026
When you purchase a premium firearm like the CVA Paramount muzzleloader, you have every right to expect it to perform safely — just as the manufacturer marketed it to do.
Yet, the manufacturer of CVA Paramount muzzleloaders is acknowledging an increased risk of failure and serious injury or death when using the guns. In June 2026, the company issued a recall of a series of muzzleloaders: Paramount, Paramount HTR, Paramount Pro, and Paramount Pro V2 muzzleloading rifles. The CVA web site lists specific model numbers effected: https://bpioutdoors.com/paramount-recall/
The manufacturer is urging owners to immediately stop using the guns. It is offering people who bought the recalled models gift cards for use only on a specific web site or an exchange plus a gift card.
While the gift cards and exchanges will compensate owners for the firearm, they don’t begin to cover the costs of serious injuries that many people have experienced from Paramount muzzleloaders over the years.
That’s where Parker Law Group comes in. Our attorneys have represented clients injured when Paramount muzzleloaders have exploded.
The Alleged Defect
Contrary to the manufacturer’s claims that the muzzleloaders are safe if used correctly, our firm has represented CVA muzzleloader owners who report their CVA Paramount guns have failed during normal use — with barrel failures sending fragments toward the shooter’s hands, face, and body. Bystanders have reported injuries as well. The owners provide ample evidence that these failures are not the result of user error or improper loading.
Serious Injuries Linked to CVA Paramount Failures
When a muzzleloader barrel ruptures or a breech plug fails, the results can be devastating and permanent. Reported injuries include:
- Hand and finger injuries (partial or full amputation, lacerations, fractures)
- Permanent nerve damage and loss of grip strength
- Deep lacerations requiring surgery and skin grafting
- Shrapnel injuries to the face, neck, and chest
- Eye injuries and risk of permanent vision loss or blindness
- Facial disfigurement and dental trauma
- Hearing damage from the uncontrolled blast
- Psychological trauma and post-incident anxiety
These are not minor injuries. Damage to the hands and eyes can end careers, alter daily life, and result in years of costly medical treatment.
