Bohning Recalls Hunting Crossbows Due to Injury Hazard; Can Fire Unexpectedly

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bohning is recalling about 150 of "The Siege" hunting crossbows, including models 315, 330, 355, and 375. These camouflage and black crossbows can fire unexpectedly even when the safety appears to be on, or the limbs can crack and break during use. They were sold at sporting goods stores in Texas and Pennsylvania and online at bohning.com between June and October 2012. Consumers should immediately stop using these crossbows and contact Bohning for a full refund.

Risk

The crossbow's auto-safety mechanism can fail, allowing the weapon to fire when the trigger is pulled even if the safety is engaged. Additionally, the structural limbs of the crossbow can crack or shatter under normal tension, posing a risk of impact injuries to the user or bystanders.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using "The Siege" hunting crossbow models 315, 330, 355, and 375.
  2. Check the area directly above the trigger mechanism for the words "The Siege" and the model number (315, 330, 355, or 375) printed in large lettering.
  3. Verify the serial number by looking at the rear barrel of the crossbow; affected units have a unique serial number starting with '12-XXX' (such as 12-578) engraved alongside 'Bohning/Middleton Crossbow' and 'Patent pending'.
  4. Contact The Bohning Company at 800-253-0136 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.bohning.com and click on 'Product Recall' to arrange for a return and receive a full refund.
  5. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this safety recall.
