Skywalker Holdings Recalls Trampolines- Failing Straps Create Fall Hazard

Utah based Skywalker Holdings has recalled 60,000 of their 13-foot Square Trampolines.  Straps which support the top of the trampoline’s enclosure can fail, resulting in a drop of the protective barrier that may lead to users falling off of the trampoline during use.

The recalled product is the 13-foot Square Trampoline and Enclosure Combo.  You can tell if your product is included in the recall by the blue spring pads, black net enclosure, and jumping mat (you can also refer to the photograph below).  “Skywalker Holdings” is printed on a label located under the jumping mat and on the enclosure net.

There have been 250 reported cases of the straps breaking, the trampoline was sold in specialty stores and major retailers nationwide and online from January 2007 through February 2009 for between $400 and $600.  If you own this model you should immediately stop use and contact Skywalker Holdings for a free repair kit.

For additional information, contact Skywalker Holdings toll-free at (866) 603-5867 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit the company’s Web site at www.skywalkertrampolines.com
