Delta Cycle Ceiling Hoists with Straps Recalled for Buckle Breakage Injury Risk

Delta Cycle Corp is recalling ceiling hoists with straps because plastic buckles can break when holding kayaks, canoes, or other large objects. The company has received four incident reports, including one minor injury.

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 structural risk-of-harm product where an injury has already been reported (one minor injury confirmed). While the hazard is not as severe as a Class I or Class II classification, the documented injury and the nature of the failure—breaking buckles holding suspended loads—places this in the High category per the rubric criteria.

Plain-English summary

Delta Cycle Corp is recalling approximately 25,140 units of Ceiling Hoists with Straps (model RS2300) sold in the United States. The product is designed to lift bicycles, kayaks, ladders, boxes, and other large objects off the floor using a pulley system.

The plastic buckles on the straps used to hold items can break, posing an injury hazard to consumers. Delta Cycle has received four reports of incidents related to this defect, including one minor injury.

Consumers should immediately stop using the ceiling hoists with straps. Delta Cycle is offering free replacement straps. Consumers are instructed to cut the old straps with buckles in half and discard them. If the ceiling hoist is being used to hold a bicycle without the included straps, no recall action is needed.

For replacement straps or more information, consumers can contact Delta Cycle Corp at 800-474-6615 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday), by email at [email protected], or online at https://designbydelta.com/hoiststraprecall. The product was sold at REI and various other independent stores, and online at Amazon.com and designbydelta.com.
