(KSL News) -- Two deaths have led to the recall of 19,000 inflatable rafts.
The rafts were sold under the brand name Wego Kite Tubes. They are inflatable rafts tethered to the back of a powerboat.
When the user pulls the handles, the tube becomes airborne, making the rider into a human kite. They've resulted in at least 39 injuries, including chest, back and facial injuries.
Consumers should stop using them and call Sportsstuff at 866-831-5524 for a free replacement product.
