Electronic Arts sent a potentially illegal promotional item to game writers! What was it?

EA sent out Brass Knuckles to games writers to promote The Godfather II game.

Electronic Arts contacted game writers around the country asking them to return the brass knuckles they were sent as part of the promotion.

The company wanted to make sure that the brass knuckles were "properly disposed of." Brass knuckles or metallic knuckles are illegal in many of the states that they were shipped to. They're also illegal in California, where EA is based.

Electronic Arts did not respond to emails seeking comment about the legality of the items they shipped and whether they faced any legal actions for shipping them across state lines.
