Product Recall
Mini-trampolines recalled after serious
injuries
April 6, 2006
The U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission, in cooperation with
Stamina Products Inc., has announced the recall of
InMotion Trampolines. If a person assembles
the trampoline alone and the outside rail
is released momentarily, the trampoline
can snap back into the folded position
and strike the consumer, posing a risk
of serious injury. Consumers should not
assemble or disassemble this product until
they have received the revised assembly
instructions.
Stamina Products Inc. has received 13 reports
of injuries including two concussions; a
rotated disc; two reports of facial bone
fractures; six injuries requiring stitches
to the forehead, eyebrow, lip and/or chin;
a corneal abrasion; and two reports of chipped
teeth.

The round, black mini-trampoline
measures 36 inches across and has six 7 ½-inch
long metal legs. The mini-trampoline is used
for in-place jogging and other cardiovascular
exercises.
Most mini-trampolines that
have model numbers containing 35-1625 are
included in the recall. Model 35-1625C and
35-1625CW units are not included in the recall.
The model number along with the customer
service and serial numbers are stamped on
a black and white label on one of the legs
containing the name "Stamina."
The products were sold at Wal-Mart, Play
It Again Sports, and various other retail
outlets, as well as via online sellers, from
August 2000 through March 2006.
Consumers should not assemble or disassemble
these mini-trampolines until they have the
revised assembly instructions. Consumers
should contact Stamina immediately for new
assembly instructions.

a.m. and 5 p.m. CST Monday through Thursday,
