What's being recalled

Classic Sport Super Bounce Pogo Sticks

Units: About 3,100

This recall involves Classic Sport Super Bounce pogo sticks. The pogo sticks are silver and blue with "Classic Sport" printed on the front. This recall involves pogo sticks manufactured in February 2010 that have Sportcraft identification number 4112777F19414-02/10 printed on a tracking label on the base of the foot pedals.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The aluminum rivets on the pogo stick's frame tubes can break and cause the support clamp to detach and release the spring, posing fall and laceration hazards to consumers.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

Sportcraft has received three reports of incidents with the pogo sticks, including two reports of injuries to the consumers' inner thigh and hands requiring medical attention.

What CPSC says to do

Dispose

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pogo sticks. The firm is out of business and a remedy is no longer available. Please destroy or discard the product.
