Hospital admission Made Jan 21, 2022, sent to the company Mar 23, 2022, published by CPSC Apr 6, 2022
The product, in the report: Goalsetter Wall mount
I recently learned of another injury to a child, 14 year old [REDACTED], who suffered severe head injuries when a Goalsetter wall mount also came out of the wall in November of 2020. When I reached out to [REDACTED] to inform him of this latest incident, I learned that he recently retired and he directed me to share this information with you. I have photos and video from the Utah incident which I can share with you via a [REDACTED] or other file link. In these incidents, 2 victims have suffered catastrophic injuries and one death. My clients have requested that Goalsetter provide more detailed instructions and warnings regarding the reinforcements needed to be made to residential wood walls and the appropriate attachments needed to safely hang this backboard. Goalsetter has refused. My clients are prepared to assist your investigation in any way possible to ensure that this dangerous product is made safe.
Thanks [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Office: [REDACTED] Direct: [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]

Death Made Jul 6, 2018, sent to the company Aug 13, 2018, published by CPSC Aug 27, 2018
The product, in the report: Goalsetter GS60 Wall mounted adjustable height goal system.
On June 22, 2018, 14 year old [REDACTED] was killed when a Goalsetter Systems, Inc. backboard detached from a wall in an indoor basketball court in his family’s newly built home and fell on [REDACTED]. The Goalsetter “Installation and Owner’s Instructions” for this “Wall Mount Series” backboard contained zero instructions on the minimum requirements for safely installing this 260 lbs. backboard into a wall. Even though the consumer hired, as recommended by Goalsetter, a contractor to install the backboard, Goalsetter failed to provide any warnings or instructions for persons installing the backboard system regarding the dynamic load characteristics or minimum anchoring requirements for installing this backboard. Goalsetter’s deliberate and conscious failure to provide information that it possesses regarding the dynamic load and minimum anchoring of this product, makes this product unsafe. In contrast, other household items, such as flat screen TV mounts provide minimum anchoring requirements and information regarding the maximum weight bearing capacity. A copy of the “Installation and Owner’s Instructions” is attached. Also attached is a national news article regarding the death. The St. Joseph County Police Department and St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the death and has taken possession of the Goalsetter System and other evidence.
