PHOENIX (AP) -- An Toledo patrolman is among police officers from five states who have sued the Arizona-based maker of Tasers, claiming they were seriously injured after being shocked with the electronic stun gun in training classes.

In the past two weeks, four lawsuits have been filed in Maricopa County Superior Court here on behalf of officers in Florida, Kansas, New Mexico and Ohio. A fifth was filed in St. Louis. The lawsuits accuse Taser International Inc. of encouraging officers to get shocked during training and of hiding information on injuries to about a dozen other injured officers. The officers claim they suffered "severe and permanent" injuries including broken spines, burns, a shoulder dislocation and soft-tissue injuries.

Toledo Patrolman Daniel J. Wagner, a union vice president, broke a rib and a vertebra in his chest when his muscles contracted from a shock in an August 2003 training session. He referred questions about the lawsuit on Saturday to his Phoenix attorney, John Dillingham.

The lawsuits challenge Taser's claim that its product is safe and accuse the company of misleading officers about the severity of potential injuries. Four of the lawsuits accuse the company of telling shareholders and the public that an officer whose spine was broken had just a shoulder injury.
