Big Game is recalling about 12,200 model year 2014 climbing tree stands, including The Outlook, The Cobalt, and The Fusion models. The cable assembly on these tree stands can release unexpectedly while in use, which can cause a hunter to fall from an elevated position. One injury has already been reported involving damage to a user's knee, wrist, and hip. These black metal stands were sold with accessory bags at various sporting goods stores and online between June 2014 and June 2015.
The cable assembly that secures the stand to the tree can fail and release, causing the platform to drop and the user to fall. This has resulted in at least one report of significant impact injuries to the knee, wrist, and hip.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tree stands and return them for free replacement cables.
