Plain-English summary
Hunter's View Ltd. of Peoria, Ill., is recalling approximately 30,000 Hunter's View Tree Stands. The recalled stands weigh between 16 and 22 lbs., are made of aluminum and steel, and feature a platform and padded seat cushion. They are designed to be attached to a tree to provide hunters with an elevated view of game. The specific models involved are the HVTS-100 Wildcat, HVTS-101 Wildcat with camo seat, HVTS-102 Wildcat Comfort Zone, HVTS-104 Wildcat Swivel Seat, HVTS-300 Big Daddy, HVTS-302 Big Daddy Comfort Zone, HVTS-400 Big Horn Ram, HVTS-402 Hoot Owl, HVTS-500 Timber Ghost, HVATS-3000 Big Daddy Lite, and HVATS-4020 Comfort Zone Swivel Seat. A yellow label on the stand reads, "Hunter's View Ltd., 1-888-878-0440."
The recall is being conducted because the cables on these stands can break, which may cause the treestand to fall to the ground, posing an injury hazard to consumers. Hunter's View has not received any reports of injuries, and the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
The tree stands were sold at hunting and sporting goods stores and catalogs nationwide from March 2001 through August 2001 for between $50 and $150. Because the firm is no longer in business, a recall remedy is no longer available. Consumers should discard the product and not donate or resell it. Consumers may call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 301-595-7054) for more information.
