Muddy Outdoors is recalling about 1,500 tree climbing sticks because they can break during use. The recalled products are 20-inch black sticks featuring tree cleats with single metal posts and a black and burnt orange rope. While no injuries have been reported, the company has received four reports of the climbing sticks breaking. These items were sold at major retailers like Bass Pro and Dick's Sporting Goods between July 2012 and October 2012. Consumers should stop using the sticks immediately and return them for a full refund or a free replacement.
The climbing sticks can break while a user is climbing a tree, potentially causing the user to fall from a significant height. This defect poses a serious risk of severe injury or death.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled climbing sticks and return them to Muddy Outdoors for a refund or a free replacement product.
