The Taser MPH (Music Player Holster) is aimed at joggers and outdoor
enthusiasts as a way of combining music and protection. The device is available
in a variety of colours, including pink and leopard print.
"Personal protection can be both fashionable and functional," said Rick
Smith, founder of Taser International.
"The Taser leopard print design provides a personal protection option for
women who want fashion with a bite."
Tasers fire two darts carrying 50,000 volts into the target and usually knock
a human unconscious.
However, because the amperage is so low, there should be little harm to the
victim, although over 70 people have died after being struck.
Tasers are in use by 10 UK police forces, but a spokesman for the
Metropolitan
Police said that his force had no plans to use the devices.
"I can honestly say no, we won't be using it," he told
The
Guardian. "Do you think that would be a good use of public money?"
