Plain-English summary

Stamina Products Inc. is recalling approximately 668,000 InMotion mini-trampolines. The round, black trampolines measure 36 inches across and feature six 7½-inch metal legs. They are intended for in-place jogging and other cardiovascular exercises. Most units with model numbers containing 35-1625 are included in the recall, while models 35-1625C and 35-1625CW are excluded. The model number and serial number are stamped on a label on one of the legs.

The recall was initiated after the company received 13 reports of injuries. These incidents included two concussions, a rotated disc, two facial bone fractures, six injuries requiring stitches to the face, a corneal abrasion, and two chipped teeth. The hazard occurs when a person assembles the trampoline alone and the outside rail is released momentarily, causing the trampoline to snap back into the folded position and strike the consumer.

These trampolines were sold at Wal-Mart, Play It Again Sports, and various other retail outlets nationwide and online sellers, including Wal-Mart.com, from August 2000 through March 2006 for about $20. Consumers should not assemble or disassemble these mini-trampolines until they have the revised assembly instructions. They should contact Stamina immediately for new instructions by calling (800) 375-7520 or visiting www.staminaproducts.com.
