October Mountain Products is recalling about 640 OMP M-100 digital hanging bow scales. The mounting ring on these orange, pocket-sized portable scales can break while in use, which can cause the device to fail and potentially strike or cut the user. The firm has received four reports of the ring breaking, including one incident where a user required stitches for a hand laceration. These scales were sold at major sporting goods stores like Dick's and Academy, as well as online at Amazon and Walmart, between November 2015 and March 2016 for approximately $30.
The metal mounting ring can snap under tension during weighing. If the ring breaks while a user is measuring a bow's weight, the scale can suddenly release or shatter, causing impact injuries or deep cuts, as evidenced by a reported injury requiring stitches.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hanging bow scales and contact October Mountain Products to receive a full refund.
