First aid Made Sep 7, 2022, sent to the company Sep 12, 2022, published by CPSC Sep 26, 2022
The product, in the report: https://www.gagaballpits.com/gaga-ball-pits/ Exact size unknown (It’s the wooden version)
To whom it may concern,
I am a former education assistant of 7 years for [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] area of [REDACTED].
I am writing to address a repeat-injury inducing piece of playground equipment known as “Gaga-Ball” https://www.gagaballpits.com/gaga-ball-pits/
During my 2nd year at [REDACTED] in 2017, school administration decided to have one of these wooden pits installed atop of rough-edged asphalt concrete.
The objective of this game is to strike the ball below knee level, with the goal to hit the ball at other player’s legs to eliminate them from the game. The problem with this however, is that the students would strike their hands on the asphalt, creating disastrous hand injuries.
These injuries were often very bloody and messy, requiring the school’s education assistants and office staff to tend to the injured player/student. I have informed [REDACTED] principal directly about the numerous incidents, letting her know that the game presents a major liability, and that the Ga-Ga Ball asphalt surface must be reinforced with a protective surface, such as rubber or [REDACTED] to reduce injury.
The principal of [REDACTED], has chosen to do nothing. Their response to me was that installing rubber, or any other protective surface would be “too expensive”.
If the protection of students is too expensive, then it seems logical that maybe the wooden octagon pit should be removed altogether.
As school employees, we undergo bloodborne pathogen training modules at the start of every single school year. The conditions of the game, “Gaga-Ball” are unsuitable within the [REDACTED] district, as the game repeatedly exposes school employees to bloodborne pathogens through repeat ripped flesh injury.
This incident(s) is among the primary reasons I decided to leave [REDACTED] last March.
I recommend [REDACTED]’s GaGa-Ball pits be investigated for safety hazard. I am perturbed [REDACTED] school district administration continually ignores the safety of students and employees.
If you have any questions relating to this concern, please feel free to contact me directly. I would like to see this issue resolved to better protect students and school employees.
Thank you kindly for reviewing my concern.
