Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that certain Vuly trampolines may experience premature deterioration of their jumping mats and safety enclosure nets despite being marketed as durable, weather-resistant outdoor recreation products.
Consumers report that jumping mats develop tears, enclosure nets weaken or rip, and fabric components deteriorate after only a few seasons of ordinary outdoor use. Some owners allege that warranty coverage is limited or denied even though the trampoline was used as intended.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Jumping mats tearing near seams or attachment points.
- Safety enclosure nets developing holes or ripped sections.
- Fabric becoming brittle after normal exposure to sunlight and weather.
- Premature deterioration despite proper installation and maintenance.
- Warranty claims being denied because the damage is considered normal wear.
- Paying significant amounts for replacement mats or enclosure nets.
- Replacement components experiencing similar failures.
- Concerns that damaged safety components make the trampoline unsafe for children.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Vuly markets its trampolines as premium outdoor products designed to withstand years of family use and exposure to the elements. Consumers purchasing these products reasonably expect the jumping mat and enclosure system to remain durable and safe for an extended period.
Some owners allege that essential fabric components begin deteriorating much sooner than expected. Once a mat tears or the enclosure net develops large holes, the trampoline may no longer be safe to use even if the frame remains structurally sound.
Consumers also report that replacement mats and nets can be expensive and that warranty periods for these components may expire well before consumers expect to replace them. If the materials used in these safety-critical components are prone to premature deterioration, consumers may not have received the durability represented at the time of purchase.
This investigation seeks to determine whether Vuly adequately disclosed the expected lifespan of its mats and enclosure systems and whether purchasers received products that performed as advertised.
