First aid Made Apr 8, 2013, sent to the company Apr 15, 2013, published by CPSC May 9, 2013
The product, in the report: Power Gym Pullup Bar -- a pullup bar designed for temporary use mounted in the interior doorframe of a home.
On 2013-04-07, I suffered an injury as the result of using the “Power Gym Door Mounted Exerciser” (that I will also refer to as the “Power Gym Pullup Bar”, or “pullup bar”), which is a sports and recreation product designed for use in the home. The product is designed to be temporarily mounted to an interior doorframe for the duration of an exercise session, then dismounted after the completion of the session.
Prior to use and assembly of the product, I measured my doorframe to ensure that it fit the tolerances mentioned on the Power Gym product’s packaging. Then I assembled the pullup bar, following the instruction sheet included with the product.
Then I mounted the pullup bar on my doorframe, and commenced an exercise session of pullups. Midway through my second pullup, the Power Gym pullup bar came loose from the doorframe, and I fell down to the floor, hitting my toe and ankle, and then rolling back on the floor and banging the back of my skull against the corner of a wall.
I suffered bleeding--there is a laceration and bump now on the back of my skull. I received first aid, but have not gone to seek further medical attention.
I think the Power Gym Pullup Bar severely lacks: 1) proper information on the required tolerances for doorframes as the product was intended for; and, 2) proper anchoring for temporary mounting to an existing doorframe. I think this product is too dangerous for consumers.
