CPSC, Tahsin Industrial Corp. Announce Recall of Treestands
05201 · Recalled 2005-06-21 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled treestand is the Ameristep Model 9203 Hang-on of the Grizzly Treestand Line. The product is a steel fixed-position treestand that uses a steel chain for attachment to trees and has a camouflage-covered seat.
Hazards
The treestand's bracket can bend if not secured properly by a chain and if weight is applied. This can cause the chain to disengage from the stand, the stand to separate from the tree and the user to fall and suffer serious injuries.
Reported injuries
Tahsin received one report in which a person fell from an unknown elevation, while using the treestand.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the treestand immediately and contact Ameristep Customer Service or any of the retailers to receive information on properly setting up the unit.
