So inflatable pools and basketball rings can be dangerous ?
I never knew that.
My guess is that the sort of people that don't have enough common sense to figure that out are the same people that are not going to read the instructions and or take note of warnings.
Maybe it's just me...

Did you read the article?

‘The ACCC also alleges Decathlon made a false or misleading representation that some of the basketball rings and backboards were safe to attach to brickwork, when that was not the case.’

That’s hardly something an average person could be expected to know. It’s not a matter of common sense.
