Plain-English summary

Pride Family Brands, Inc. is recalling approximately 13,900 Bed Bath & Beyond Destination Summer Hammock Stands. The recall also includes 55 units sold in Canada. The recalled product is a bronze-colored heavy gauge steel hammock stand with an enamel finish that measures 15 feet long by 3.5 feet wide by 4 feet high. The stands were manufactured in China and sold under the Bed Bath & Beyond private label.

The recall is due to a fall hazard. The Z-shaped hooks that attach the hammock to the stand can bend or break, resulting in consumers falling to the ground. The firm has received 13 reports of the hooks bending or breaking, which resulted in consumers falling and injuring various body parts.

The hammock stands were sold at Bed Bath & Beyond stores nationwide and online at www.bedbathandbeyond.com from March 2014 through July 2015 for about $100. Consumers should immediately stop using the product and dispose of the Z-shaped hooks. They should contact Pride Family Brands toll-free at 855-612-9800 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.bedbathandbeyond.com by clicking on “Safety & Recalls” at the bottom of the page, to obtain a free set of heavier-gauged, S-shaped replacement hooks.
