About 92,000 trampolines, made by Sportspower Limited, are being recalled because of a problem with the netting.
The
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing a voluntary
recall, along with Sportspower Limited, of their Sportspower BouncePro
14' Trampolines.
The company says the netting surrounding the trampolines can break, and children can fall through.
So
far, Sportspower says they've received 17 reports of the net breaking,
and in 11 of those cases, people were hurt, including broken bones, back
and neck injuries, and contusions.

Says it all.
No, it says nothing about it.
Things go wrong. It has nothing to do with where it came from. Dont be ignorant.
4:51 who's ignorant? It has everything to do with where it comes from. Things do go wrong, but a reputable company wouldn't take the shortcuts they take over there. My china made stainless steel isn't stainless and in fact rusts.
The other factor here is trampolines are NOT babysitters. Never should they be used without a SPOTTER to stand by in case of a slip.(which can happen to anyone.)
