Biking, running, jogging, camping and kids playing at park are just a few of the favorite activities during spring time in Kentucky. Kids have fun on different kinds of outdoor toys such as bikes, scooters, skates and pogo sticks.
A Warning to all parents: March 16, 2011, some pogo sticks were recalled by Bravo Sports of Santa Fe Springs, California and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission due to risk of serious injuries. What makes this risky to the kids and may be the cause of a child injury accident is the bottom of the pogo stick's frame tube can break. Also, a pin holding the spring in place can break. The recalled pogo sticks numbered about 169,000 units. It involves the Rocket Stick Pogo, Pop Stick Pogo, Monster Stick Pogo and Twin Stick Pogo which were sold in red, green and blue colors. The names are printed on the stem and on the foot pedals. The recall includes only pogo sticks with manufacturing date codes between 04/01/2010-046HE and 10/31/2010-046HE. The date codes are located on a white label underneath the foot pedal of on the stem of the pogo near the foot pedals. These pogo sticks were manufactured in China and sold at mass merchandisers nationwide and online by Web retailers from May 2010 through March 2011 with cost between $25 and $40.
There were about 123 reports of incidents of failure of the pogo sticks which includes nine reports of injuries. Most reports of the injuries were that the child fell after the pogo stick broke and knocked out a tooth. Some required stitches for a facial laceration.
We don't want this to happen to our Kentucky children.

Thanks for such a nice and informative post. I think every parent should read this post to keep their child safe. I was myself thinking of buying some of those sticks but now I think I should a bit.
