Risk Description
Anyone who jumps on the trampoline risks head injury if they collide with the basketball hoop. If any textile parts of the hoop break, the jumper could become entangled, leading to injury or strangulation. Using a ball on the trampoline may increase the risk of injuries. The toy consists of two hoops—one inside and one outside the trampoline. Using both hoops simultaneously on inground or flatground trampolines could increase the risk of user collisions. For non-buried trampolines, there is also an increased risk that a user might crawl under the trampoline while it’s in use to retrieve a lost ball. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-14.
