Bravo Sports Pogo Stick Recall Issued After Injury Reports

About 169,000 Bravo Sports Pogo Sticks have been recalled after numerous reports of the pogo sticks breaking during use, which could cause an injury for consumers. 

The pogo stick recall was announced on March 16 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) after the manufacturer received at least 123 reports of problems that resulted in at least nine injuries, including three children who suffered chipped or lost teeth. One child also required stitches for a facial laceration.

According to the CPSC the bottom of the defective pogo sticks and the pins holding the spring in place can break, creating a risk that children or adults using the pogo sticks could cut themselves or fall.

The recall affects the Bravo Sports Rocket Stick Pogo, Pop Stick Pogo, Monster Stick Pogo and Twin Stick Pogo. The recalled pogo sticks were sold in red, green and blue and the name is printed on the stem and the foot pedals. The recall only affects those pogo sticks with manufacturing date codes between 04/01/2010 and 10/31/2010. The manufacturing date code is located on a white label under the foot pedal or on the stem near the foot pedals.

The Bravo Sports pogo sticks were sold at mass merchandisers nationwide and through internet sales for between $25 and $40 from May 2010 through March 2011.

The CPSC recommends that consumers who own the recalled pogo sticks should immediately stop using them and contact Bravo for a full refund at www.bravopogorecall.com.
