Ameristep Hunting Tree Stand Recalled Due to Collapse Hazard

On May 18, 2006, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of about 6,700 Ameristep Patriot and Outfitter Hang-on Tree Stands.  The tree stands were manufactured by Primal Vantage Company Inc. of Randolph, New Jersey and distributed by Ameristep Inc. of Clio, Michigan.  The j-hook attachment of the tree strap can fail, which can cause the tree stand to collapse. Consumers using these stands could fall and suffer serious injuries or death.

The description of the recalled tree stands in the CPSC announcement is as follows:

The recall involves two models of tree stands: the Ameristep Patriot Hang-On Tree Stand has model number 7300, and the Outfitter Hang-On Tree Stand has model number 7310. These products are fixed-position, strap-on tree stands. The UPC number of the model 7300 is 769524703001. The UPC number of model 7310 is 769524703100. The model number and UPC are not written on the tree stands, but can be found on the packaging.

The hunting tree stands were sold at hunting and outdoor stores nationwide and by Web retailers and in catalogs from April 2004 through December 2005 for between $130 and $150.
