Full-Body Safety Harness Recall

On June 8, 2006, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Summit Treestands LLC, of Decatur, Alabama, announced the recall of about 106,000 safety harnesses sold with hunting tree stands.  The safety harness sold with the tree stand could fail during use, resulting in consumers falling fro the tree stand and suffering serious injuries or death.

The CPSC description of the recalled  full-body safety harness sold with hunting tree stands is as follows:

The harnesses are tan or light brown and were sold as an accessory with the following tree stands or ladders: Viper X5, Goliath X5, Razor X5, Bushmaster X5, Broadhead Backpacker, Bullet Backpacker, Clearshot, Openshot, and MegaSampson. Only harnesses with “Manufactured in 2005,” and “Made in China” printed on a label on the harness tether are included in this recall.

The recalled safety harness sold with hunting tree stands was sold at sporting goods stores nationwide from June 2005 through May 2006 for between $200 and $300 for the tree stand including the harness.
