Origin of Muon-Induced Dimuons and Scale Violations at Small<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>x</mml:mi></mml:math>

It is argued that if multimuon events observed in deep-inelastic muon scattering are manifestations of associated charmed-meson production, then the latter may be responsible for a sizable fraction of observed scaling violations at small values of the scaling variable $x$.
