Thousands of zipline kits sold on Amazon have been recalled following reports of cables snapping, resulting in nearly a dozen injuries, federal product regulators announced Thursday.

In an online post, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled Jugader Zipline Kits.

The voluntary recall is for the kits which contain a 160-foot long and 4-mm thick cable wire, a blue trolley, and a hanging plastic seat, the agency reported.

In all, CPSC reported the recall affects 6,600 kits used by people for ziplining − a way of propelling oneself through the air by means of a cable.

So far, officials confirmed they received 20 reports of the cable breaking, resulting in nine injuries including cuts and one broken bone.
