Plain-English summary

Bravo Sports is recalling the Rocket Stick Pogo, Pop Stick Pogo, Monster Stick Pogo, and Twin Stick Pogo. The recall involves approximately 169,000 units sold in red, green, and blue colors. The specific models included in the recall have manufacturing date codes between 04/01/2010 - 046HE and 10/31/2010 - 046HE, located on a white label underneath the foot pedal or on the stem near the foot pedals.

The pogo sticks are being recalled because the bottom of the frame tube can break or come apart, and a pin holding the spring in place can break. These defects pose laceration and fall hazards to consumers. Bravo has received 123 reports of incidents involving the pogo sticks, including nine reports of injuries. Reported injuries include a child who chipped a tooth and required stitches for a facial laceration, another child who chipped a tooth, and one child who fell after the pogo stick broke and knocked out a tooth.

The pogo sticks were sold at mass merchandisers nationwide and online by web retailers from May 2010 through March 2011 for between $25 and $40. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pogo sticks and contact Bravo to receive a full refund.
