HeadlineJan 13, 2005

In business news, the stock value of stun gun manufacturer Taser has plunged over 40 percent this month in part because the Securities and Exchange Commission had announced it is investigating the safety of the guns. Tasers are marketed as a non-lethal weapon, but at least 80 people have died in the U.S. after being Tasered. The SEC is also investigating possible insider training by company executives.
