Recall Insight

This CPSC action (record #05092) was formally reported on January 25, 2005. It is classified under Moderate severity, with a current status of Active. Jumpking Inc.® of Mesquite, Texas is listed as the recalling firm. Federal records indicate About 1 million trampolines and about 296,000 "FunRing" enclosures units are affected, placing this recall in the million-unit bracket that typically triggers nationwide consumer alerts and retailer sweeps.

The documented reason for this recall is: Welds on the frame of these trampolines can break during use, resulting in falls and possible injuries. Additionally, the mounting brackets of the FunRing enclosures have sharp edges, which can cause lacerations. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: Consumers should stop using the trampolines and/or the enclosures, and contact Jumpking to receive free repair kits. — consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.

Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by CPSC. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 21 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user.
