Hazard

An internal metal pin can wear down, causing the pogo sticks to remain stuck in the down position and release unexpectedly, posing a risk of fall or facial impact injuries to children.

Remedy

Consumers should take the products away from children immediately and contact Fisher-Price to receive a free replacement pogo stick.

Incidents & injuries

Fisher-Price has received 17 reports of incidents with the pogo sticks, including one report of two teeth being lost and one report where stitches were required. Other injuries involved cuts and bruises to the face, arms and legs, from fall injuries.
