It certainly does appear to be a genuine RPM product, but I was basing my comment on the reply I got from them about whether 1 bought from Play would be covered.

I can confirm that Play.com is one of our resellers and therefore your Powerball will be fully covered by our lifetime warranty.
This seems to imply that if a genuine product was bought from somewhere that isn't an official reseller then it wouldn't be covered.

It all depends on her arthritis, her mobility, coordination etc....
If in doubt, don't let her use it; she might not even have the coordination to be able to use it!
If she can get on with it then start her off really gently; not much use and moniter her discomfort levels from using it. If she is really elderly and arthritic/osteoporotic then it's probably best not to let her at it....
She's not that old [though she looks younger than she is]. As for frailty... She broke her hip a few years ago when she trod on something that slipped out from under her foot & as a result fell backwards. She had to have surgery last year on 1 of her hands [I forget which] when the dog she had at the time [a LARGE greyhound] suddenly tried to bolt after a cat and she wasn't holding the lead quite right. I don't think her coordination is too bad, as she still does beading with some very small & fiddly beads, & I don't think she'd be able to do that if she was "all fingers & thumbs".

I think I'll show her how it's done, & then as per you suggestion get her to try it very gently - just enough to keep it going, & stop if she has any discomfort.
