No incident, no one hurt Made Mar 27, 2026, sent to the company Apr 1, 2026, published by CPSC Apr 15, 2026
The product, in the report: Lifetime 54 inch Portable Adjustable Basketball Hoop
The main post of our basketball hoop became disconnected from the base and collapsed in our driveway, resulting in a distorted rim and a fully unusable unit. Fortunately, no one was injured, however, this was a concerning situation given the weight of the pole and backboard. Based on my review of the product manual, it appears that bolt reference DRZ came unscrewed from the BTS nut, causing separation from the pole braces and the subsequent collapse. It looks like it was an issue with the installer not screwing the bolt on tight enough, but submitting in case this is a recurring theme that would suggest that the bolt is particularly difficult to adequately screw on during installation.

The product, in the report: Lifetime 50 Inch Shatter Proof Portable Basketball Hoop Model # 71566 Product ID 1411208
My sons were playing basketball using the Lifetime 50 Inch Shatter Proof Portable Basketball Hoop (model # 71566 | product ID 1411208) we purchased from Amazon on April 13, 2015 and the metal rim detached from the backboard and fell to the ground. Upon inspection we realized the metal broke right behind the springs. Fortunately it didn’t fall on anyone but if it did I could have seriously injured them. I’m concerned with the safety f this product and don’t want to risk further injury.
