Crosman is recalling about 1,400 rope cocking devices shipped with Centerpoint Sniper 370 crossbows. The hooks on these devices can bind and break when pulled back, causing the rope to recoil suddenly. This defect has already led to three reports of broken hooks, including one instance of a facial laceration. These devices were sold at Academy, Cabela's, and online at Amazon.com, Crosman.com, and Sportsmansguide.com from December 2015 through June 2016. Crosman will provide a free replacement cocking device without the hazardous tabs.
The plastic tabs on the hooks can get stuck as the device is being pulled back to cock the crossbow, causing the hooks to snap under tension. This results in the rope recoiling rapidly toward the user, posing a risk of facial lacerations or other impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled rope cocking device and contact Crosman to receive instructions on returning it for a replacement rope cocking device without tabs. Crosman has contacted all known purchasers.
