Skateboard Ramps
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC), Gen-X Sports Inc., of Toronto, Ontario,
Canada, is voluntarily recalling about 88,000 skateboard ramps. The
ramps can crack causing users to fall and suffer injuries.
Gen-X Sports has received one report of the ramp cracking. The
user, who was riding a scooter at the time of the incident, fell and
broke his collarbone.
The recalled ramps include the Rage SSD (model 310937) and Skate
Attack SSD (model 312912). The ramps are black and have a sticker
with the Rage or Skate Attack logo and name on each side. The four
peg holes, used to anchor the ramp, are located on the underside of
the ramp in each corner. The ramps are 39-inches long, 28-inches
wide and as high as 12-inches.
Discount department and sports stores sold the ramps nationwide
from March 2002 through September 2002 for between $20 and $40.
Consumers should stop using these ramps immediately and contact
Gen-X to receive a refund. For more information on returning the
ramps, consumers can contact Gen-X toll-free at (866) 846-4369
