Outfitter and Fred Bear Compound Crossbow Recall

On July 14, 2006, CPSC announced a recall of about 2000 Outfitter and Fred Bear compound crossbows manufactured by Bear Archery of Gainesville, Florida. According to the CPSC announcement, the triggers on these Outfitter and Fred Bear compound crossbows could fire when the safety mechanism is moved from “safe” to “fire” position without pulling the trigger. Bystanders could be unintentionally hit by an arrow fired by these bows.

The recall involves five models of Outfitter and Fred Bear compound crossbows:

• Fred Bear F340 Compound Crossbow with model number AFB8949350
  
• Fred Bear F325 Compound Crossbow with model number AFB8949325
  
• Fred Bear F300+ Compound Crossbow with model number AFB8949301
  
• Fred Bear F300 Compound Crossbow model number AFB8949300.

The model name is written on the outside of the crossbow’s bottom limb. The model number is written on the product manual.
The recalled Outfitter and Fred Bear compound crossbow models were sold at hunting and sporting goods stores nationwide and by Web retailers and in catalogs from July 2004 through January 2006 for between $300 and $800.

The CPSC recommends that consumers discontinue use of the product and contact the firm for a free trigger replacement.
