Safety agency warns of stadium light pole hazards
Published: Mon, Aug. 24, 2009 02:53PM


Quote :
"WASHINGTON -- School officials and facility managers should immediately inspect outdoor stadium light poles made by Whitco Co. LP because the poles can crack and fall, putting bystanders at risk, the government's safety agency said Monday.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said it knew of nine incidents in which poles installed from about 2000 through 2006 fell, including one pole that went through the roof of a school gymnasium. On two occasions, a pole fell onto outdoor bleachers.

The commission, which is investigating the poles, said it is not aware of any injuries."
