Goalsetter Basketball Goal Recall Class Action Lawsuit
Around 18,000 wall-mounted basketball goals by Goalsetter are being recalled due to a defect that can cause the unit to detach from the wall. This puts users and innocent bystanders at risk of serious injury or death. The recalled models include the Goalsetter Adjustable and Fixed Wall Mount Series, along with the GS Baseline Series 48-inch, 54-inch, 60-inch, and 72-inch wall-mounted goal systems. They were sold from November 1999 through June 2022 at basketball equipment stores and SCHEELS stores nationwide, and online through Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart, com, Dicksportinggoods.com, and Competitiveedgeproducts.com/.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has asked consumers to stop using the goals immediately. They can also contact Goalsetter to remove the recalled basketball goals and issue a full refund or reinstall the goal with additional safety brackets. However, this remedy doesn’t address the fact that a 14-year-old boy in Granger, Indiana was killed from one of these goals falling on him. The manufacturer has also received four accident reports resulting in a fractured leg and severe facial injuries.
If you or your loved one was harmed by this product, you are entitled to seek monetary damages from the manufacturer, such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

These wall-mounted goals weigh over 200 pounds, with some of them weighing almost 300 pounds. It’s not hard to imagine the devastation that can happen if someone is struck by one of these goals falling off the wall. Children are especially vulnerable to catastrophic injury, including death. Other injuries that can happen from a falling object accident include:
- Broken bones
- Skull fracture
- Traumatic brain damage
- Spinal cord injury
- Broken pelvis or hip fracture
- Damage to the internal organs
- Paralysis
- Disfigurement
- Post-traumatic stress, sleep disorders, and other mental health issues
Due to the severe injuries that can be caused by this product, immediate medical attention should be your first priority. If the injuries are not life-threatening, try to gather as much evidence as possible by taking photos or video of the accident scene and any physical injuries. In addition, ask witnesses for written statements or get their contact information so that your lawyer can reach out to them later.
Legal representation is essential with these claims, whether you are the injured party or the loved one of an accident victim. If you’ve lost someone to a crushing accident that was caused by a Goalsetter basketball goal, you may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit against the manufacturer. The key is to reach out to a lawyer right away, who can investigate the accident and take the right steps to bring you the settlement you are entitled to.
