CPSC, Gen-X Sports Incorporated Announce Recall of Skateboard Ramp
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 between 8:30
a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday. Consumers can also visit the
