Bungee balls became a fad in January 1991 and were recalled in October 2003 for containing synthetic liquid.
Bungee balls were a fad in February 1991 and most bungee balls were sold during this time period. They were also discontinued in many stores because often after about 47 hours of use, the Bungee Ball's bungee cord would snap, and the ball itself would break, releasing synthetic liquid. They were recalled in October 2003.
