HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR HEAD, NECK AND OTHER BODILY INJURIES! 

W.A.T.C.H. OUT!  This trampoline is sold in the toy aisle for children as young as 3-years-old. 

Remarkably, the package insert instructs, in part, as follows:

            “Never attempt any other functions or gymnastic functions or rough
            play on the trampoline, this trampoline is designed for young children
            ONLY.  The only function on this trampoline should be a controlled
            bounce (exercise), for young children.  No other functions should
            occur other then [sic] controlled bounce.”

 The many hazards associated with trampoline use should make it apparent to manufacturers and retailers that such equipment should not be sold as a playtime activity for young children.
