  1. Hospital admission

    Made May 24, 2011, published by CPSC Jul 5, 2011

    The product, in the report: Flying Disc (Frisbee golf)

    Consumer stated that this sport equipment that can be used as a toy, however, he was struck in the face with the product which caused severe damages to his glasses and losing sight in his right eye, by someone using it on the golf field. He was taken to an emergency room by an helicopter to Massachussets In air, Mass. General hospital, where surgery was performed and he was admitted for 3 days and had to returned for a follow up surgery, he spent over a week in the hospital.

    Consumer suffered the following injuries: A) a hatchet like blow to the right orbital area which cleaved the polycarbonate lens the defendant was wearing, B) lacerations to the wall of the socket C) rupture of the eye D) near excision of the cornea E) expulsion and loss of the intraocular lens F)total destruction of the iris G)detachment of the retina H)loss of anterior/posterior integrity of the eye I)ultimately enucleation of the eye.

    The lack of proscription, warning and labeling of the disk contributed to reckless and negligent behavior on the part of the person who threw the disk and a lack of awareness of the lethality of what can only be described as a flying hatchet. Furthermore, the disk has been apparently engineered to maximize rotation and flight dynamics which increases its lethality without explicit warning to the general public. Consumer would not have trusted his health or safety to general or negligent use of the disk by anyone if he had known of the terrifying consequences.

    Chronic and ongoing injuries conssit of residual inflammation of the eyelids and socket, chronic pain, loss of binocular vision, depression and generalized physical debilitation.

    Consumer stated that the product is a safety hazard in the way it is designed and is concern what it can do to children, if he has been injured by this product.

    Consumer feels that this sporting equipment/toy should be investigated.
