1. BUNGEE CORD DANGER ALERT:
EYE INJURY / BLINDNESS
The Bungee Cord,a Seemingly Harmless
EverydayHousehold Device,has been the
Cause of CatastrophicEye Injuries
Bungee cords are inexpensive and in use everywhere. These common, everyday devices are used in
almost every home and by many at work. Bungee cords are used to secure items such as bicycles,
ladders, and other cargo. They appear safe to use, but the little known fact is that many bungee cords
are defective and dangerous because their cheaply made “J”-shaped metal hooks, when stretched and
under tremendous tension, can suddenly bend open unleashing unexpected and massive force.
When this happens, this everyday household item becomes a high-speed projectile which can cause
eye trauma and blindness as the cord and its metal hook snap back at the user’s face and eyes,
often destroying the user’s eye and causing lifelong blindness.
This danger is virtually unknown to most consumers.
Eye Injuries and Blindness Caused by Unsafe Bungee Cords
Have Been Occurring Nationwide for Years
These hooks are often cheaply made abroad with inadequate tensile strength, and the companies
which manufacture them have disregarded this known danger and the many cases of blindness
that have occurred.
This tragedy to consumers across the United States is still happening because many stores still carry
and sell cheaply made, unsafe and defective bungee cords with hooks that deform in everyday use.
