Plain-English summary
Hunter's View, of Peoria, Ill., is expanding its recall of safety harnesses sold with tree stands and recalling harnesses provided as replacements. The recall involves all 2004 and 205 model year Fall Arrest Systems (FAS), or harnesses with "Model Year 2004" or "Model Year 2005" printed on a white Hunter's View label attached to the harness or the tree strap. The recall includes all model number harnesses sold during these years and replacement harnesses provided to consumers as a result of the previous recall announced in April 2005.
The harnesses could fail during use, resulting in a hunter falling from the tree stand and suffering serious injuries or death. No injuries have been reported. The affected products were sold at hunting and sporting good stores nationwide beginning in January 2004 for between $30 and $300.
The firm is no longer in business, so a remedy is not available. Consumers should discard this product. For more information, call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.
