2026-06-05 – A consumer has filed a report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) detailing a laceration hazard involving a Jumpzylla 14FT Trampoline Enclosure & Pad Cover. The report describes repeated spring failures that resulted in injury to a child during ordinary residential use. The manufacturer, MRK GLOBAL MANAGEMENT S.R.L. dba JUMPZYLLA, sold the product directly to consumers via its website. Product DetailsBrand Name: Jumpzylla Incident OverviewAccording to the incident report filed with the CPSC on March 17, 2026, a 13-year-old child sustained bodily injury when a spring on a Jumpzylla outdoor trampoline fractured during ordinary use. The trampoline had been purchased directly from the manufacturer in August 2024. The parent documented the broken spring, trampoline setup, and injury, and notified the manufacturer. While the hazardous product remained in the consumer's possession during the company's handling of the claim, a second spring-related injury occurred on March 28, 2026. This incident caused laceration, bruising, and permanent residual scarring to the child. After dismantling the trampoline, the parent discovered that multiple additional springs exhibited identical wear, deformation, and progressive fatigue characteristics. The frame and spring attachment areas also showed concentrated abrasive wear contributing to mechanical stress. The reporter stated that the evidence suggests a systemic mechanical failure rather than isolated misuse. Supporting photographs and manufacturer correspondence are available upon request. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: A fractured spring can release stored energy, snapping back with force and creating sharp metal edges. This can cause deep lacerations, puncture wounds, or impact injuries to anyone in close proximity, particularly children who may be jumping or standing near the spring area. Long-Term Risks: Continued use of a trampoline with fatigued springs increases the likelihood of additional failures. As the reporter noted, multiple springs exhibited identical wear patterns, indicating a systemic issue. Repeated injuries from such failures can lead to permanent scarring and psychological trauma. Who Might Be Affected: The primary users of backyard trampolines are children and adolescents. Their lighter body weight does not protect them from spring failures; in fact, the unpredictability of a sudden break can catch them off guard, increasing the risk of falls or direct contact with sharp metal. Warning Signs: Visible deformation, rust, or uneven gaps between springs may indicate fatigue. The reporter observed wear and deformation on multiple springs before failure. Consumers should regularly inspect springs for signs of stretching, thinning, or corrosion, and replace any that appear compromised. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Cease all use of the trampoline until the springs and attachment points can be thoroughly inspected by a qualified professional. If any spring shows signs of wear, do not allow anyone to use the trampoline. Preserve the Product: Keep the trampoline, springs, and all related components in their current condition. Do not attempt repairs or discard any parts, as they may be needed for investigation or legal purposes. Document the Incident: Take clear photographs of the broken spring, the area where the injury occurred, and any visible wear on other springs. Write down the date, time, and circumstances of the incident. Keep records of any medical treatment received. Seek Medical Attention: If you or a family member has been injured by a spring failure, seek medical evaluation even if the wound appears minor. Lacerations from metal can be deeper than they appear and may require professional cleaning to prevent infection. Contact the Manufacturer: Notify Jumpzylla (MRK GLOBAL MANAGEMENT S.R.L.) about the incident and provide your documentation. Request information on any known issues or corrective actions. Report to the CPSC: File a report on SaferProducts.gov (Report ID 6058489 for reference) to help regulators track potential defects and protect other consumers. Consumers who have suffered injury or property damage from this product may wish to speak with a product liability attorney to understand their legal options.
