Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Jun 17, 2019, sent to the company Jul 16, 2019, published by CPSC Jul 30, 2019
The product, in the report: INTEX “Inflatabull” pool toy. The “Inflatabull” is a 7ft 10in by 6ft 5in by 2ft 8in (2.39m x 1.96m x 81cm) inflatable floatation toy that allows one to simulate “riding a bull.” The large product depiction on the box shows a teenage boy sitting upright while “riding the bull,” while a smaller product depiction shows a teenage girl also sitting upright on the bull, with one hand on the built-in handhold and her other hand up in the air, with three other teenagers surrounding the device with their hands placed on the circular tube.
My wife, son, & I were visiting brother-in-law’s home. He has a very nice in-ground pool in his backyard. My wife had just purchased an INTEX “Inflatabull” pool toy from TJMaxx for $39.99, so that brother-in-law’s son, and our son (they are ages 11 & 12), could use it for additional pool fun. The “Inflatabull” is a 7ft 10in by 6ft 5in by 2ft 8in (2.39m x 1.96m x 81cm) inflatable floatation toy that allows one to simulate “riding a bull.” The large product depiction on the box shows a teenage boy sitting upright while “riding the bull,” while a smaller product depiction shows a teenage girl also sitting upright on the bull, with one hand on the built-in handhold and her other hand up in the air, with three other teenagers surrounding the device with their hands placed on the circular tube. Brother-in-law was with the kids as they were attempting to get onto the toy. However, they could not even mount it to simply sit on it, as it was very unstable. I come over to assist. We tried letting out some air, thinking that it may make it more stable. That didn’t seem to help. I decided to try it myself. We were in the shallow end of the pool, which turned out to be a really bad decision. I was sitting on the bull for maybe all of 30 seconds as brother-in-law was beginning to gently push the bull towards the deeper end, when I promptly tipped over. I hit my head on the pool steps, and began to bleed. Six sutures later, and less than 24-hours from the incident, I’m here on SaferProducts.gov to report my experience.
