Trampoline Recalled Due to Fall and Injury Risk<\/h1>\n
\n

On August 1, 2019, Super Jumper issued a recall (number 19-179<\/i>) for trampolines. The recall includes the 14-foot trampolines<\/b>, 14-foot combo trampolines, and 16-foot combo trampolines<\/b>. The trampolines were sold with enclosures but without reinforcement claims. The trampolines have the Super Jumper logo printed on the center<\/i> of the mat (black mat with gold springs covered by a blue pad).The 14-foot trampoline involved in the recall have six metal legs<\/b> while the 16-foot trampoline involved in the recall have eight metal legs<\/b>. According to the recall, the welds on the legs of the trampoline can fail<\/b> – resulting in a severe risk of falls and injuries<\/a>. Approximately 23,000 products have been affected. The defective trampolines were sold from November 2011 to June 2019 for prices ranging between $200 and $400 from various online sites including Overstock.com, Wayfair.com, Amazon.com, and Hayneedle.com. The company has confirmed at least 97 reports of the welds on the metal legs on the trampoline suddenly breaking<\/b>. There have been at least 4 reports of injuries<\/b> – specifically, minor injuries. The recall suggests that consumers immediately stop the use of the recalled trampolines and contact the company for a free repair kit. Should you follow the recommended actions laid out by the recall?<\/b> If neither you nor your family suffered any type of harm as a result of the defective<\/a> trampolines, it is fine to follow the recommendations of the company. If you or your family suffered any type of harm directly because of the defective product, however, it is essential that you do not follow the recommendations (besides the obvious recommendation that should always be followed: stop using the defective product immediately). Instead of contacting the company for a free repair kit, you should seek legal assistance – as you might have grounds to pursue a claim for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. If you or a member of your family suffered any type of harm as a direct result of a defective<\/a> product, it is essential that you seek legal assistance immediately.

What is the Danger of a Defective Product?<\/h2>\n

As explained above, the trampolines are defective; the welds on the metal legs can fail causing unsuspecting parties to suddenly fall and suffer injuries. Trampolines are usually a few feet off the ground. When users jump up, they can reach a high elevation – an elevation in which it would be dangerous to fall without the trampoline pad underneath. When the weld on the metal legs of the trampoline suddenly fails, the trampoline is suddenly not held up appropriately. When landing on the trampoline pad after the metal legs fail, users can actually hit the floor and possibly suffer injuries.<\/p>\n

Who is Liable for the Harm Caused by Defective Products?<\/h2>\n

Liability caused by defective products usually falls on the companies that negligently make the defective products available for purchase. This means that Super Jumper might be liable for the harm that you or members of your family suffered as a direct result of one of their defective trampolines. All companies that make products available for consumers to purchase have a specific duty of care<\/a> towards their consumers. They must ensure that they are only releasing products that are completely safe for consumer<\/a> use. This means that companies have to rigorously test and inspect their products to identify and address hazards that could potentially harm their consumers. When companies fail to identify and address the hazards that could harm their consumers, they are being negligent; therefore, they could face liability for all the harm their consumers suffer.<\/p>\n

Do You Have the Right to Sue?<\/h2>\n

Was the harm that you or a member of your family suffered a direct result a defective product? If so, you might have grounds to pursue a claim. To file a product liability or defective product claim<\/a>, there must be a defect in the product’s labeling, design, or manufacturing. Based on the recall, it is possible to assume that the problem with the weld of the metal legs is representative of a manufacturing defect. If this is the case, victims do have the right to sue. If you would like to learn more about your right to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts<\/a> at our law firm as soon as possible. Our experts are ready to provide you with all the information that you need to pursue your claim<\/a>.<\/p>\n
