Bravo Sports Recalls Pogo Sticks After Nine Are Hurt

Bravo Sports recalled 169,000 pogo sticks after nine people were hurt. The bottom of the toy can shatter and a pin holding the spring in place can break, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

Bravo has gotten 123 complaints about the pogo sticks including one report of a child who chipped a tooth and had to get stitches for facial cuts. Other incidents include another child who chipped a tooth and a third who fell after the pogo stick broke and knocked out a tooth, CPSC said.

Included in the recall are the Rocket Stick Pogo, Pop Stick Pogo, Monster Stick Pogo and Twin Stick Pogo. Only pogo sticks with manufacturing date codes between 04/01/2010-046HE and 10/31/2010-046HE are included in the recall. The date code can be found on a white label under the foot pedal or on the pogo's stem near the foot pedals.
