Plain-English summary

Twin Oaks is recalling approximately 2,300 Standard and Economy Hammock Stands. The recall involves steel pipe hammock stands sold in green and black under the Twin Oaks brand, identified by model numbers 14015 (green) or 14016 (black) printed on the instruction materials. These stands are used with Twin Oaks double and family-sized rope hammocks, as well as all Twin Oaks fabric hammocks.

The foot brackets used to support the hammock can crack, causing the stand to collapse. This poses a fall hazard to consumers. Twin Oaks has received 43 reports of cracked foot brackets, including several reports of consumers who fell to the ground when the foot brackets collapsed. No injuries have been reported.

The affected hammock stands were sold at Twin Oaks catalog and website, craft fairs, and independent retail stores nationwide from December 2007 through June 2011 for between $100 and $150. Consumers should immediately stop using the hammock stands and contact Twin Oaks Hammocks at (800) 688-8946 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.twinoakshammocks.com for instructions on returning the foot brackets for a free replacement.
