Trampolines Recalled Due to Injury Hazard

The trampolines were sold at Sports Authority nationwide.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Wednesday announced a voluntary recall of Sportspower trampolines sold at Sports Authority stores nationwide. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately, the Commission warned.

About 23,400 of the 14-foot trampolines were built by Sportspower, Ltd., of Hong Kong and some have faulty legs that can move out of position and puncture the jumping area. These pose a risk of injury, including deep, penetrating puncture wounds, cuts and bruises to children and adults on the trampoline.

No injuries have yet been reported.

The trampolines are 14 feet in diameter and sold with an enclosure net. The trampolines have blue or light blue fabric on the safety matting and enclosure pole sleeves. The model number is marked on the packaging and instruction manual. “Parkside” is printed on the enclosure net.

The trampolines were sold at Sports Authority stores nationwide from April 2007 to May 2012 for about $540.

Consumers with the recalled trampolines should contact Sportspower to receive a free repair kit at 888-965-0565, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. PST Monday through Friday, online at www.sportspowerltd.net or email customerservice@sportspowerltd.net for more information.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
