Bravo Sports Trampolines
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Incorrectly assembled trampolines can allow the top rails and legs to bend or break during normal use, resulting in partial collapse of the trampoline. This poses a fall hazard to consumers.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fall risk.
