The school district is 112. His son slid on the soccer goal post cover and received 22 stitches on his left knee as a result of the incident. He was at recess playing for about 15-20 minutes. The product indicates that the product advertised that the product has no sharp edges . The consumer spoke to the company president yesterday who explained to him that sometimes in cases of cold weather the product may come above ground.
