The hoops were sold at MC Sports, Academy Sports, Dunham’s Sports and other sporting goods stores nationwide for between $600 and $1,700. They were made in China.

If the product is installed in concrete, the firm will arrange for free deinstallation, repair and reinstallation of the product at the consumer’s home.
