Attwood Recalls Kayak and Watersports Storage Hanger Due to Injury Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Attwood Corporation is recalling about 10,000 Kayak and Watersports Storage Hangers because the adjustment buckles can unexpectedly release. If the buckle fails, the stored items can fall and hit people nearby. This recall involves blue and black fabric strap pairs sold at Walmart, Mills Farm Fleet, and marine dealers between January 2014 and July 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using these hangers and return them for a full refund or replacement.

Risk

The plastic snap buckles used to adjust the strap length can fail to hold under tension, causing heavy kayaks or other watersports equipment to fall from their hanging position onto anyone below. No injuries have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your storage hanger for model number 11917-6, which is located on the back of the retail packaging near the barcode.
  2. Verify the product description: the hangers consist of a pair of blue and black fabric straps, roughly 1 inch wide and 84 inches long, featuring a plastic snap buckle and a plastic-coated steel S-hook.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled storage hangers and remove any equipment currently being stored in them.
  4. Return the recalled hangers to any Walmart, Mills Farm Fleet, or the marine dealer where they were originally purchased for a full refund or a replacement.
