Playground
audits PARENTS, GUARDIANS,
& ALL USERS OF THIS PRODUCT:
This product was not designed or
manufactured as a “climb on structure toy” that you would see
on a playground, park, or schoolyard. Please advise your
children, or the recipient of this toy, this very important
information.
Failure to obey or understand this
very important legal disclaimer could result in bodily
injuries. Climbing on this product, using excessive
weight or force on a structure could cause it to break, and
will void the warranty.
Please Use This Product in a Safe
Manner and You Will Have Years of Fun!
1. This product
has been tested and approved for use for kids between the ages
of 4-12 years of age, and is not a “climb-on”
construction toy.
2. When using
this product for the first time it is highly recommended an
adult instruct the child or children on how to properly
assemble and disassemble a structure. Start building from the
bottom or ground up to complete your structure. When you
are ready to disassemble a structure, you MUST always
begin by removing pieces from the top and work your way down
to the bottom. Please review the set up and take down
instructions for more information.
3. As an
educational tool, it is suggested that parents or guardians
work with, and teach the children who use this product on how
to build safe structures and other creative forms.
4. It is very
important that every time a tube is inserted into a
sphere, the rotating end of the tube should be turned to
secure (or semi-lock) the tube to the inside of the
sphere. This is accomplished by turning the rotating end
of the tube ¼ of the way around (or 90 degrees) in either
direction. You should feel the “key” (located on the end
of the tube) roll over the speed bumps located inside of the
sphere. Note: This is not a 100% secure
lock, and therefore this product is marketed as a “do not
climb construction / structure toy”. If you do not feel
the “key” roll over the speed bumps (located inside of the
yellow sphere), try using another “key hole” on the sphere
until you have achieved success. If you still cannot
feel the speed bump “semi lock” into the sphere please do not
use that particular piece. It may still be under
warranty or have reached the end of its product
lifecycle.
5. It is highly
recommended that all structures be built on a flat or even
surface at all times.
6. This product
is made of a high quality Polypropylene and ABS thermoplastic
material.
7. This product
also includes an ultra violet (UV) stabilizer to help minimize
color fading due to excessive and direct sunlight. It is
not recommended to leave this toy in direct sunlight over long
periods of time. Doing so will shorten the life of the
product, and possibly cause the plastic to become brittle and
possibly break over an extended period of time.
8. If this
product is left in direct sunlight for extended periods of
time, thermoplastics will absorb the heat. This toy
could become too hot to handle with bare hands. Please
be cautious. Another example (to be cautious) would be
if this product were stored in a car on a hot day for an
extended period of time. Try to avoid storing this
product in places where heat can build up and be absorbed by
the product to avoid injury.
9. Never attempt to remove the screws from
the yellow sphere(s), or the yellow rotating ends from the
tubes. This will permanently damage the product and will
void the warranty.
10. Toobeez were intentionally designed as a
"non-climbable" structure / building toy. It is
primarily used for building framework. That is why
the yellow ends may come apart from the tube if you stand on
the product, or try to bend the yellow ends forcefully into a
sphere. This is a built in safety feature,
and is not advertised at all (it is our patent pending
"company secret"). The yellow ends of the tubes
are designed to be used only at certain angles when
in use with the spheres. If you try to force the
tubes into a bad angle, this puts unwarranted stress
on the sphere and on the yellow tube ends. Which
in-turn will cause one of the following
actions:
· Pressure on the
screws to become loose on the
sphere (screws can be re-tightened with a #10 Torx
screwdriver)
· Pressure on the
"T" located on the yellow rotating ends may
bend
· The yellow
rotating ends may come out of the tube (simply re-insert
into the tube & be careful not to pinch your
hand)
If any of these
actions occur, we will conclude the product was "possibly"
being used in an inconsistent manner in which it was designed
for.
11. If the screws ever come
loose on the sphere, use a Torx #10 screwdriver to
re-tighten. Be careful not
over tighten the screws.
12. Do not use
this toy as a baseball, bat, sword, or any type of
weapon. Please play safely.
13. Do not use
this toy to harm other people, animals, or other personal
property.
14. It is never
recommended to use this product in a swimming pool or in any
body of water. This product is not a safety flotation
device. The tubes on this product will absorb water and
will cause it to sink. Using this product in water is at
your OWN RISK.
