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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (smoke inhalation from deteriorating stove jack ring) where injury reports have been documented (three reports of deterioration creating smoke and one report of smoke inhalation). This matches the High severity criterion for risk-of-harm products with reported injuries, meeting score 3.

Plain-English summary

Westfield Outdoor, Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana, is recalling approximately 5,050 Cabela's Ultimate Alaknak and Instinct Outfitter tents, as well as Big Horn 6P tents distributed by Bass Pro, LLC. The tents are designed for optional use of a wood stove inside, with the stove pipe exiting through a stove jack ring that provides a seal between the pipe and tent material.

The stove jack ring can deteriorate when exposed to high temperatures from contact with the stove pipe, creating smoke inside the tent. This deterioration poses a risk of injury from smoke inhalation. Westfield has received three reports of the stove jack ring deteriorating due to heat and creating smoke, and one report of smoke inhalation and frostbite related to discontinuing wood stove use while camping.

The recalled tents were sold at Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops nationwide and online at www.cabelas.com and www.basspro.com from August 2019 through November 2020, priced between $900 and $1,500. Specific models affected include the Cabela's Ultimate Alaknak 12'x12', 12'x20', 13'x27', and 10'x10' Outfitter tents; the Cabela's Instinct 12'x16' Outfitter tent; and the Cabela's Big Horn 6P tent.

Consumers should immediately stop using a wood stove inside the tents and contact Westfield Outdoor at 877-579-1550 (7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET, Monday–Friday), email [email protected], or visit www.basspro.com for a free replacement stove jack ring. Consumers can remove the old ring and install the replacement by following the instructions provided.
