Delta Cycle is recalling approximately 25,140 Ceiling Hoists with Straps (Model RS2300). The plastic buckles on the straps used to lift heavy objects like kayaks, canoes, and ladders can break, causing the items to fall. The firm has received four reports of incidents, including one minor injury. These products were sold at REI, Amazon.com, and designbydelta.com from February 2017 through July 2024.
The plastic strap buckles can fail while holding heavy objects overhead, causing the objects to fall unexpectedly. This poses a significant injury hazard to anyone standing or moving underneath the falling equipment.
Consumers should immediately stop using the Ceiling Hoist with Straps and contact Delta Cycle Corp to receive free replacement straps. Consumers should cut the old straps with buckles in half and discard them. If consumers are using the ceiling hoist to hold a bicycle (and not using included straps), no recall action is needed.
Recall also includes units that do NOT have a serial number. No action is required if the hoist is used for a bicycle without the straps.
