Hospital admission Made Jan 1, 2014, sent to the company Jan 9, 2014, published by CPSC Feb 3, 2014
The product, in the report: 2013 Caution Spitfire size 8 meter, black, grey and white.
Purchased brand new size 8 meter kite from Caution Kites in Santa Cruz California. Too long of a bridal assembly resulted in an accident where I suffered a shattered collarbone and left elbow. Surgery required. Caution acknowledged that the kite was faulty and was the cause of the accident. They replaced the kite but when asked to pay for medical bills, they have refused to communicate with me. They are uninsured for this type of accident. I have medical bills, loss of work and other expenses I would like to get reimbursed for.
