Excalibur Crossbow has recalled about 15,000 C2 Crank cocking aids because the device's plastic hooks can break while in use, launching projectiles at the user or bystanders. These black cocking aids were sold between January 2008 and December 2021 and feature the "Excalibur Crossbow" logo on the front. There have been over 500 reports of the hooks breaking, including one incident resulting in a permanent eye injury. Consumers should immediately stop using the C2 Crank and contact the company for free replacement parts.
The plastic cocking hooks on the device can fail under tension, causing them to break and fly off as dangerous projectiles. This poses significant impact and laceration hazards, which have already resulted in hundreds of reported incidents and one reported permanent eye injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled C2 Crank and contact Excalibur Crossbow to receive instructions on receiving free replacement rope and hooks.
About 15,000 units sold in the U.S.; approximately 3,920 additional units sold in Canada.
