Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly reports five incidents of falls resulting in serious injuries, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury reports' under the Severe (4) classification.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Game Tracker of Flushing, Michigan, are recalling approximately 92,500 Deluxe Safety Belts and Climbing Harnesses and Lifeline Safety Harnesses. These products were sold as a restraint mechanism to prevent hunters from falling when hunting from trees or tree stands.

The recall is due to a defect in the welded D-ring that connects the belt and rope. This defect can cause the belt to fray and break, which can result in a fall. Game Tracker is aware of five incidents in which the safety belt and harness failed, resulting in falls and serious injuries.

The affected products include the Deluxe Safety Belt and Climbing Harness, Models GTDSB and 3020, and the Lifeline Safety Harness, Model 3040. They were sold nationwide from 1990 to 1995 for $19 to $21 in 1,700 sporting goods and archery stores. Consumers should stop using the products immediately and return them to Game Tracker for a replacement safety belt and a reimbursement check for $3 to cover mailing expenses.
