Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that certain Springfree Trampoline models may experience premature mat tearing, seam separation, or deterioration near the flexible rod pockets despite being marketed as premium trampolines engineered for long-term family use.
Consumers report that trampoline mats begin tearing near stitched seams or areas where the flexible support rods connect to the jumping surface after only one or two seasons. Some owners allege that warranty claims are denied because the damage is characterized as ordinary wear, leaving families responsible for purchasing expensive replacement mats.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Trampoline mats tearing near stitched seams or rod pockets.
- Small tears quickly growing into larger openings.
- Fraying around attachment points despite ordinary residential use.
- Damage developing after only one or two seasons.
- Being told the deterioration is normal wear rather than a covered defect.
- Paying hundreds of dollars for replacement mats.
- Replacement mats developing similar problems.
- Feeling the trampoline did not deliver the durability promised by its premium price.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Springfree trampolines are marketed as premium alternatives to traditional spring-based trampolines, with pricing that substantially exceeds many competing products. Consumers purchasing these trampolines reasonably expect the jumping mat to remain safe and functional for many years of normal family use.
Some owners allege that the mat begins deteriorating at predictable stress points, particularly around stitched rod pockets where repeated flexing may concentrate wear. Once the mat begins tearing, continued use may become unsafe even though the frame and other major components remain in otherwise good condition.
Consumers also report that replacement mats are expensive and that warranty coverage may be denied because the damage is classified as ordinary wear. If the mat design creates concentrated stress that results in premature tearing, consumers may have paid a premium for durability that the product does not consistently deliver.
This investigation seeks to determine whether Springfree adequately disclosed the expected service life of its trampoline mats and whether consumers received products that performed as advertised.
