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.

Contact Stamina at (800) 375-7520 between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. CST Monday through Thursday, between 8:00 a.m. and 3 p.m. CST on Fridays, or visit the firm's website.
