Summary

Primal Vantage is recalling about 1,000 Ameristep Hyde Cliff Hanger and Sky Walker hang-on tree stands. The cast aluminum platform on these hunting stands can break during use, posing a serious fall hazard to hunters. While no injuries have been reported, there have been six reports of the platform breaking. These units were sold at Bass Pro Shops and other sporting goods stores between July and November 2014 for approximately $220 to $250. Consumers should immediately stop using these stands and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.

Risk

The cast aluminum foot platform can crack or break completely while a hunter is standing on it. This failure can cause the user to lose their footing and fall to the ground, resulting in serious physical injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the Ameristep Hyde Cliff Hanger (Model 2RX1H008C) and Sky Walker (Model 2RX1H009C) tree stands.
  2. Check the back of the aluminum seat frame for date code JH-2014-3-6 to confirm your unit is included in the recall.
  3. Verify the model number (2RX1H008C or 2RX1H009C) which is printed on the original product packaging or within the instruction manual.
  4. Look for the word 'Hyde' printed in red on the vertical aluminum bar located between the seat and the foot platform to help identify the brand.
