CPSC and CESSO, LLC Announce Recall of Tree Stand Components
04137 · Recalled 2004-05-18 · CPSC page
Description
Levelers are designed for use with the "Tree Lounge" tree stand. The levelers are powder-coated green, with a T handle screw that spreads or contracts the two tubes of the leveler as necessary, in order to level the "Tree Lounge" as the diameter of the tree changes during ascent or descent.
Hazards
If the "Tree Lounge" is subjected to significant impact from a heavy load, a tube on the leveler can crack. If the leveler is installed beneath the "Tree Lounge," the bolts attaching the leveler to the "Tree Lounge" can bend or begin to pull through the leveler. In either of these circumstances, users can lose their balance and possibly fall.
Reported injuries
CESSO has received three reports of consumer injury associated with leveler failure.
Remedy
Consumers should return their levelers to the firm for a free repair.
