It said he suffered serious injuries, including a fractured right forearm.

Garcia因為這個傷缺席了四個月 Early this year, Garcia suffered an aggravation of the forearm injury that caused him to miss two games in March. 今年初，Garcia 右手臂前臂的傷勢出現惡化的現象。 導致他缺席了三月的兩場比賽。 Garcia sought an unspecified amount of monetary compensation for physical and mental pain and suffering along with a loss of future earning capacity.

Dreyer 說:『我們很欣慰我們得到了該有的陪償，然後這個判決也警告其他的 消費者不要使用該家公司的健身球，以免發生危險。』 The balls were warranted to withstand 600 pounds and to be "burst resistant," the suits alleged. Yet, in a test commissioned by Dreyer, a ball like the one at issue burst with 400 pounds on it. 這個健身球聲明說防爆破而且能承受600磅的重量 但Dreyer 說經過測試400 磅就接近極限了 As part of the agreement to keep the financial terms of the settlement secret, Ledraplastic, an Italian firm, agreed to circulate a letter informing and reminding all distributors that Gymnic fit balls should be used with only body weight and never with weights, and advising distributors to forward the letter to customers. 這家公司為了保持自己的商譽，已分發信函給各經銷商提醒他們的消費者 該健身球只能在何種狀況下使用，以避免受傷。 -- --
