Plain-English summary

Sportspower Limited is recalling approximately 92,000 BouncePro 14-foot trampolines due to a fall hazard. The brown mesh netting surrounding these trampolines can break, which allows children to fall through the netting and be injured. The recall involves trampolines with brown mesh netting measuring about 6 feet high on the perimeter. UPC codes 68706404210 and 68706404244 are printed on the trampoline box, and "Sportspower BouncePro 14" and "TR-14-63-A" are printed on a plate on the leg of the trampoline frame.

The trampolines were sold exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide from February 2009 through February 2012 for about $275. Sportspower has received 17 reports of the net breaking, resulting in 11 injuries, including broken bones, back and neck injuries, and contusions.

Consumers should stop using the trampolines immediately and contact Sportspower to receive replacement black netting for the trampoline.
