WASHINGTON, D.C. In April 1997, Lifetime Products Inc. of Clearfield, Utah, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), recalled over 29,800 ProCourt portable basketball systems. When the base is filled with water, it can develop a leak, allowing the water used to stabilize the system to leak out. As a result, the basketball system can fall over, presenting a risk of injury to the consumer.

The ProCourt portable basketball systems recalled have a number 4 on the bottom of the base and date codes from 970101 through 970873 stamped on the bottom of the horizontal plate attaching the rim to the pole.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ProCourt portable basketball systems and call Lifetime Products at (800) 225-3865 for a free replacement base with installation instructions. Do not use the product until it is repaired or replaced in order to ensure the safety of your child.

Note that recall remedies should be available indefinitely. If the manufacturer does not help you, alert the CPSC at (800) 683-2772.
