First aid Made Sep 16, 2011, sent to the company Sep 23, 2011, published by CPSC Oct 12, 2011
The product, in the report: Danskin Ab Rower plus. I locked my feet into the foot straps and pulled on the bungee cord handles to do my very first attempt at exercising with this piece of equipment. The next thing I know I’m in pain...my nose had taken a very powerful hit, instant bruising and very swollen. My face had blood running down into my eye’s. The top of my head had been cut open and was bleeding. A huge knot on my head under the cut. Needless to say I was dizzy and off balance. The hook from the bottom of the bungee (where the foot straps hook to) broke on the second pull. I had been pulling with all my strength and let me say the hook and cord hit me so hard I thought my nose would be broke! Thank God it wasn’t. I took it back to where I bought it from “Wall-Mart”. They gave me a big Oh My and told me to contact the Danskin Company. I wrote and explanation to the company. I received an e-mail to call a number, No one answered so I left a message. I didn’t call back because I felt as though I had been through enough. I waited a couple of weeks and wrote another letter to Danskin expressing my disappointment in their lack of response and that I thought the Rower was not safe. Still have not heard from them. Nothing! This could have turned out a lot worse had the hook hit me in the eye or teeth. Next time it might do sever damage to some one else. Thank You, [redacted]
