The Toronto *-based company Gen-X Sports Inc. is recalling about 88,000 plastic skateboard ramps * because they can crack and cause riders to fall.

A boy riding a scooter on one of the ramps broke his collarbone when the ramp cracked and he fell, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.

Gen-X's parent company, Miamisburg, Ohio *-based Huffy Corp., owns Huffy Sports Co. in Sussex.

The black ramps were sold from March to September 2002 * for between $20 and $40, mostly in the United States * at Kmart, Academy Sports & Outdoors, The Sports Authority and some smaller sports stores. The recalled ramps -- the Rage SSD (model 310937) and Skate Attack SSD (model 312912) -- are 39-inches long, 28-inches wide and up to 12 inches high. The ramps are black and have a sticker with the Rage or Skate Attack logo and name on each side. The four peg holes, used to anchor the ramp, are located on the underside of the ramp in each corner.

The government advises consumers to stop using the ramps and contact the company at 1-866-846-4369 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, to receive a refund.
