What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Browning and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation are recalling approximately 10,000 co-branded skinner knife sheaths (model 322087). The sheaths are black with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation logo stitched on the front and were packaged in black and yellow boxes with Browning branding. The recall is limited to this specific model; no other Browning or Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation products are included.

The recall was issued because the sheaths lack a blade guard, which allows the knife to cut through the material. This defect poses a laceration hazard to consumers. The sheaths were distributed as promotional items for new membership in the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation between November 2008 and April 2009. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should stop using the recalled sheaths immediately and discard them. Individuals with the recalled product will be notified directly and will receive a replacement sheath free of charge. For more information, consumers can contact Browning at (800) 637-0230 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. MT Monday through Friday or visit www.browning.com.
