We believe that the plastic parts used in the construction of this pole are flimsy and inadequate and that the evidence shows that people are at risk of injury or worse by purchasing these dance poles which are sold by Ann Summers.
We want pole instructors, students, dancers and pole studios across the UK and the rest of the world to sign this petition which will be put forward to the company to request that they stop selling these dance poles or attach a prominent warning to the box advising potential purchasers of the dangers.

These poles may allow injury, as people using them will try unsuitable moves on them.
I was going to buy a cheap pole which I think was from ann summer's until my teacher told me of the dangers of cheap poles really not worse the risk or waste of money encase of having injuries due to the pole coming off or breaking etc and then you'd up missing pole class and maybe not even pole dancing again
These poles are DANGEROUS and not fit for purpose! !! I've used one and had injuries as a result!!
Should be removed from shelves or displayed that it is for walking around only. There are too many videos of accidents and dangerous incidents of people using these poles thinking they would hold their weight at anytime.

The thought of someone inverting on an unsafe pole,and the injuries that could result, is horrendous. We should all be able to pole in safety knowing our equipment is reliable and secure. Please stop the sale of these dangerous dance poles before someone is seriously hurt.
