Approximately 13,900 Bed Bath & Beyond Destination Summer hammock stands are being recalled because the Z-shaped hooks that connect the hammock to the stand can bend or break during use. The firm has received 13 reports of these hooks failing, which caused people to fall to the ground and suffer various injuries. These bronze-colored steel stands were sold at Bed Bath & Beyond stores and online from March 2014 through July 2015 for about $100. Consumers should stop using the stand until they have replaced the original hooks with the safer S-shaped hardware.
The original Z-shaped mounting hooks lack the necessary strength to support users safely; if a hook bends or snaps, the hammock will suddenly collapse, causing the occupant to fall onto the ground or the metal frame.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product, dispose of the Z-shaped hooks and contact Pride Family Brands to obtain a free set of heavier-gauged, S-shaped replacement hooks.
