The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Aqua-Leisure Industries Inc., today announced a voluntary recall of about 40,000 First Fitness® Trampolines with Handlebars because metal fatigue can cause the handlebar to break away during use, posing a risk of laceration from exposed metal surfaces or other injury from a fall.
Aqua-Leisure has received four reports of handlebars breaking from the metal connection joint during use. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves First Fitness Kid’s First trampolines with handlebars. The child-size toy trampolines have a red and blue metal handlebar, a blue nylon deck guard and a black jumping deck. “First Fitness” is embossed on the jumping deck in white letters. The trampolines can be identified by model number FF-6902TR and Toys R Us SKN 491463. The model and store numbers can be found on the lower right corner of the back of the packaging. A sewn-in tag on the bottom of the deck lists the factory date code of five numbers followed by “GLTX.”
Consumers should immediately take the recalled trampolines from children and contact Aqua-Leisure’s recall hotline toll-free at (888) 912-7087 between 8:30 a.m. through 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s website at www.aqualeisure.com for a full refund.
