  1. Hospital admission

    Made Apr 29, 2022, sent to the company May 6, 2022, published by CPSC May 20, 2022

    The product, in the report: The product was a standard sized boogieboard with an elastic yellow coiled bungee leash that is used to allow the board to be connected to the individual using it. The boogie board brand was Morey which is produced by Wham-O Toy, Co. The leash is also labeled Morey. Pictures included below. The boogie board and leash were packaged together and sold by CostCo.

    My eight year old child was playing with a “Morey” boogieboard at the beach when the elastic bungee leash/strap came unattached from the boogieboard and sprung back at an extremely high rate of speed, striking my child in the eye. The injury has resulted in partial blindness. The leash was a coiled bungee leash that had a metal swivel at the end. A simple string connects the metal swivel (and leash) to the boogieboard. The string connecting the leash (via metal swivel) was insufficient to withstand the force resulting from my child pulling the boogieboard by the leash and apparently failed. When it failed, the strap sprung back towards his face, and the metal swivel at the end of the leash struck him in the eye at a high velocity. The product was being used as it was intended to be used at the beach. The boogieboard and leash were branded “Morey” which we have learned is manufactured by Wham-O Toy Co. We purchased the boogieboard and leash (packaged together) from Costco in South Carolina. We have since noticed several other boogieboard leash that are not coiled/elastic which would reduce the speed the leash could spring back if it fails. We have also since noticed leash that do not contain a metal swivel at the end. The metal swivel essentially acted as a projectile that blinded my child in one eye.
