The product, in the report: 2000lbs Anti Burst Exercise Stability Ball with Pump 65 cm by Black Mountain
I ordered a Black Mountain Products AntiBurst Exercise Ball Weight Limit 2000 Lbs from Amazon.com. I brought it to my office, where I used it off and on as my desk chair for approximately 2 weeks before it exploded while I was sitting on it. No, I’m not 2000+ lbs; I’m about a tenth of that.
The force of the explosion knocked me down and backwards, into my regular desk chair. I bashed my head against the bottom of my desk chair (on one of the “spokes” that hold the wheels), and was in some pretty intense pain for a few minutes. 5 days later, the goose egg on the back of my head has subsided somewhat, but it’s still incredibly sore and I still have a headache.
My coworkers heard the explosion of the ball, and came running. Thankfully, we have in our building (the California state capitol) an RN who is always on duty. I asked them to call her down to our office so she could check me out.
The RN did a concussion check, put an ice pack on me, and told me to visit the ER if things got worse; i.e., if I got dizzy or disoriented.
I went to put a product review on [REDACTED]today, and much to my surprise, there are several DOZEN reports like mine on that product. Several folks have had to go the ER, and several babies who were being held in their parents’ arms also had injuries.
This manufacturer is making defective products, and should be warned/stopped.
