Precision Shooting Recalls Archery Crossbows Due to Injury Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Precision Shooting is recalling about 17,000 FANG XT, FANG LT, and THRIVE archery crossbows because they can fire or discharge unexpectedly. This defect creates a serious safety risk for both the user and bystanders. The manufacturer has received six reports of the crossbows firing without warning, though no injuries have been reported yet. These camouflage-patterned crossbows were sold at major retailers like Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's between October 2016 and August 2017.

Risk

The crossbow's firing mechanism can fail, causing the weapon to discharge an arrow unexpectedly without the trigger being pulled. This unexpected release poses a significant risk of puncture wounds or other serious physical injuries to anyone in the line of fire.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled crossbows.
  2. Check the serial number on the bottom of the trigger grip to see if it falls within the range of 2404285 through 2514039.
  3. Verify the model name (FANG XT, FANG LT, or THRIVE) on the emblem above the trigger housing or printed on the front of each limb.
  4. Confirm the model number on your product hang tag or box: 01295CY or 01295S2 (Fang XT); 01303CY, 01303MG, or 01303S2 (Fang LT); or 01312CY (Thrive).
  5. Contact Precision Shooting Equipment (PSE) at 800-477-7789 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or visit www.pse-archery.com and click on 'Product Support' to submit a Return Authorization Form for a free repair.
