Plain-English summary

FeraDyne Outdoors, of Superior, Wisconsin, is recalling about 50,000 Rhino Tree Stands and Ladder Stands sold in the United States. The recalled safety harnesses have model numbers RTH-2000S or RTH-2001S and do not comply with the voluntary industry safety standard ASTM F2337-21.
