If you have been injured by Stomp Rocket Ultra you are not alone. You may have a case against D&L Company but you should speak to a lawyer if you are wanting to file a claim. The following is an incident that caused injury to a consumer and was reported.
Description of what happened:
I bought a Stomp Rocket Ultra and brought it to a party. Adults put it together. Both children (8-10 years old) and adults stomped on it with no problems sending the rocket about 200 feet in the air. An adult friend reloaded the launch pad with the nerf-tipped rocket and I looked at the air bladder I was stomping on and the rocket flew squarely into my eye. We don’t know how it changed its direction other than the fact that the launch pad does swivel. Neither my brow or cheekbone were struck leaving the full impact on my right eye. I almost detached my retina. I had retinal bleeding, a corneal abrasion, blood pooling from some other part of my eye and general blunt force trauma surrounding my eye. I suffered (and still do) from excessive pressure in that eye and am currently on two medications to keep it lower (traumatic glaucoma). It’s been two months since the accident and my eye is still dilated as a result of the accident which causes me to have to wear sunglasses for using a computer and causes me to have poorer vision. The headaches I have from the accident are continuing. While I am thankful this did not happen to one of the children present, it certainly could have. Most likely my injury is permanent. I coninue to see my ophthamologist and he could not give me a prognosis. The box for the toy does not show children wearing safety glasses and the print on the outside of the box under “WARNING” talks about a choking hazard. Under warnings on the website, it simply says “Do not aim at eyes or face” (I did not), and “To reduce risk of serious eye injury or blindness: Do not shoot rockets at others. Keep bystanders behind the launch pad.”
