These goals were for home use and a lot were sold at Wal-Mart. The story I linked to said they were made in China. Surprise anyone?

manufactured in China doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that the product is being recalled after 1 death in ten years
when i first heard of the story I thought "dang how did the head get stuck?" but this piece explains it
"the strangulation death of a 20-month-old child who was found with his arm and neck tangled in the soccer goal net."

okay so where were the parents? who was in charge of the child? and for this we need to recall 190,000 units?

i'm sorry the child died, but I think this is liability law/ child safety gone amok. What if the child had been hit in the head by  a hard kicked soccer ball and then died? would there be a safety recall of all soccer balls?
