Russell Brands has recalled approximately 13,400 Spalding Momentous EZ Assembly Portable Basketball Goals due to faulty welds in the support arm. These welds can fail, causing the heavy backboard to detach and fall from the pole. There have been 26 reports of weld failures, including two instances where consumers were struck and injured on the head, shoulder, or torso. The goals were sold at Academy, Scheels, Amazon, and Spalding's website between May 2021 and April 2022 for $400 to $600.
The welds in the arm attaching the backboard to the pole can break, causing the backboard to fall unexpectedly. This poses a serious impact injury hazard to anyone playing near the goal, as evidenced by reports of consumers being hit in the head and upper body.
Consumers should immediately stop using the portable basketball goals and contact Spalding to arrange for a technician to remove the original arm and install a new arm on the goal system. Spalding is contacting all known purchasers.
'Spalding' is printed on the front of the black base; '6E' is molded on the back of the base; numbers 1010, 1011, or 1012 are printed on the front of the backboard.
