Product Details
Incident Overview
On May 22, 2026, an incident was reported concerning a CalmMax 12FT round trampoline purchased from Amazon.com. According to the consumer’s report, a critical structural component—a weld on one of the trampoline’s legs—failed and broke apart. This structural integrity breach rendered the entire trampoline unstable and unsafe for continued use, prompting the owner to cease its operation immediately due to safety concerns.
Safety Concerns
The failure of a weld on a trampoline leg presents significant and immediate safety risks to users. Trampolines rely on the structural integrity of their frames to provide a safe jumping surface. A compromised leg weld can lead to:
- Immediate Dangers: A sudden and catastrophic collapse of the trampoline frame while in use. This could cause jumpers to fall unexpectedly onto the ground, or into the metal frame, leading to severe impact injuries. The stability of the entire structure is compromised, making it prone to tipping or buckling.
- Long-Term Risks: If the trampoline is continued to be used despite the damage, further stress could exacerbate the existing damage or lead to failures in other welds and structural components, increasing the likelihood of a complete structural collapse without warning.
- Who Might Be Affected: Primarily children and teenagers who are the most frequent users of trampolines. Injuries could range from sprains, fractures (including severe bone breaks), concussions, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, lacerations, and internal injuries. Adults supervising or participating could also be at risk.
- Property Damage Potential: An uncontrolled collapse of a trampoline could cause damage to surrounding property, such as fences, landscaping, or nearby structures, especially if it tips or rolls.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own a CalmMax 12FT round trampoline or any trampoline from the CalmMax brand, take the following precautions:
- Immediate Action: Stop using the trampoline immediately if you observe any signs of structural damage, including broken welds, bent frames, or instability. Do not attempt to use or repair a trampoline with compromised structural integrity, as this could worsen the danger.
- Inspect Your Product: Carefully inspect all leg welds and frame connections for any signs of cracking, separation, deformation, rust, or other indications of structural fatigue or failure. Check for any wobbling or instability in the frame.
- Contact the Manufacturer/Retailer: Report the incident to CalmMax and Amazon.com. Provide them with details of your purchase and the specific issue encountered.
- Report to Authorities: File an incident report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.SaferProducts.gov. This helps the CPSC monitor product safety and identify patterns that may lead to recalls or safety warnings.
- Retain Evidence: Keep the damaged product and any purchase documentation, as this may be important if further action is required.
