CPSC, Rivers Edge/Ardisam, Inc. Announce Recall of Tree Stands
04173 · Recalled 2004-07-06 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled Big Foot and Lite Foot Series hunting tree stands are "hang-on" stands that can be identified by a yellow warning label affixed to the stand that reads: "Rivers Edge Hunting Products." These tree stands have dual post seat uprights and a gold-colored strap hook bracket. Only these model tree stands with the gold-colored bracket are included in this recall.
Hazards
If the strap mounting bracket loosens or rotates, the strap hook can release, causing the tree stand to detach from the tree. If this occurs, the consumer could fall to the ground.
Reported injuries
Rivers Edge/Ardisam, Inc. has received three reports of consumers falling when their stands detached. Two of these consumers reportedly suffered serious injuries, including broken bones.
Remedy
Consumers should contact Rivers Edge/Ardisam, Inc. to receive free replacement hardware for self-installation.
