About 18,000 Goalsetter wall-mounted basketball goals were recalled. The basketball goal could detach from the wall and fall to the ground, causing injury or death.
In Granger, IN, a 14-year-old boy was killed in June 2018 when the recalled goal fell on him. Goalsetter has received four reports of the equipment detaching from a wall, including his death. In one of the other reports, a consumer suffered severe facial injuries and another consumer sustained a fractured leg.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Goalsetter ask that consumers contact Goalsetter for a free removal of the basketball goal with a full refund or a free inspection of the installed goal and free installation of an additional safety bracket.
This recall involves all Goalsetter Adjustable and Fixed Wall Mount Series and GS Baseline Series 72-inch, 60-inch, 54-inch, and 48-inch wall-mounted goal systems.
The basketball goals have a white Goalsetter logo (a white basketball to the left of the word Goalsetter printed in the lower left corner of the backboard).
The recalled basketball goals were sold at Scheels stores and basketball equipment stores nationwide and online at amazon.com, dickssportinggoods.com, walmart.com, competitiveedgeproducts.com, and target.com from November 1999 through June 2022 for between $919 and $2,250.
