Ravin Crossbows is recalling approximately 220,000 white plastic clip-on arrow nocks because they can fail to fully engage with the bowstring. This defect can cause the crossbow to fail to fire when the trigger is pulled or, more dangerously, to discharge unexpectedly while a user is attempting to re-nock an arrow. There have been 44 reports of these nocks malfunctioning, resulting in 23 finger injuries, including six serious injuries. The affected white nocks were sold as original equipment with Ravin brand crossbows and arrows, and separately in packages of 12, between October 2016 and November 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these white nocks and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.
If the nock does not fully clip onto the bowstring, the energy from the crossbow can release unexpectedly during the re-nocking process. This poses a significant risk of finger and hand injuries from the high-tension bowstring or moving parts.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled arrow nocks and contact Ravin® Crossbows for free replacement nocks.
