Global Manufacturing Company is recalling about 5,300 API Outdoors "The Marksman" climbing tree stands because the cable assembly can release unexpectedly while in use. This defect has caused at least one serious injury involving a broken vertebra, fractured rib, and sprained shoulder. These light green metal stands were sold at Menards and Rogers Sporting Goods stores between June 2014 and June 2015 for between $140 and $180. Consumers should immediately stop using the stands and return them to the manufacturer for free replacement cables.
The cable assembly that secures the stand to the tree can release without warning, causing the user to fall from an elevated hunting position. One consumer has already reported falling and suffering a broken vertebra, a fractured rib, and a sprained shoulder.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tree stands and return them for free replacement cables.
