DICK’S Sporting Goods is recalling about 63,000 Field & Stream Life Line, Linesman, and Safety Ropes because the ropes can fail when used in freezing temperatures. The company has received one report of a rope failing in freezing conditions, which caused a consumer to suffer a concussion and a knee injury. These black ropes with orange lines were sold individually or in three-packs at DICK'S Sporting Goods, Field & Stream, and Sportsman's Warehouse stores nationwide between June 2017 and April 2020 for between $20 and $80. Consumers should immediately stop using these ropes and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund or store credit.
The rope material can become brittle and snap when exposed to freezing temperatures, causing the climber to fall from their height and suffer serious impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ropes and return them to any DICK's Sporting Goods or Field & Stream store if purchased at those stores or at Sportsman's Warehouse store if purchased there. Consumers with a receipt will receive a full refund and consumers without a receipt will receive a store credit of the purchase price.
