BYA Sports has recalled about 5,700 Skyline backyard zipline kits because a crimp in the cable can fail, causing the line to pull free or become slack while a user is on it. The firm has received nine reports of cable failure, including six injuries involving bruising and head trauma. The recalled kits were sold in 60, 75, and 90-foot lengths in camouflage packaging at REI and other sporting goods stores from August 2013 through July 2015. Consumers should stop using these kits immediately and contact BYA Sports for a free replacement kit.
The zipline cable can pull out of its crimp or suddenly lose tension during use, causing the rider to fall unexpectedly to the ground. This defect has already resulted in three reported head injuries and three reports of bruising.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled zipline kits and contact BYA Sports for a free replacement kit.
