Plain-English summary

TSR Inc. is recalling approximately 9,000 Ol' Man Treestands and about 500 replacement pin sets. The recall involves locking pins that secure the cables connecting the treestand to a tree. The affected products include the 2006 Ol' Man Treestands models MV-MO, GMV-MO, OMDX-MO, GOMDX-MO, AMVP-MO, AGMVP-MO, AOMP-MO, and AGOMP-MO, as well as the 2006 Ol' Man Replacement Pin Sets, model PL. The recalled treestands are stamped on the underside of the teeth plates with "TSR 06" and specific date codes ranging from 6018 to 6041.

The locking pins in these treestands can come out unexpectedly, which exposes consumers to possible injury due to a fall. TSR has received five reports of pins coming out of the treestand, including four injuries resulting from falls. The products were sold at various hunting supply stores from August 2006 through January 2007 for between $100 and $400, while the replacement pin sets sold for between $10 and $14.

Consumers should stop using the recalled treestands and pins immediately. They should contact TSR for free replacement pins by calling 888-656-2606 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, visiting www.olmanoutdoors.com, or emailing [email protected].
