Rivers Edge is recalling about 14,000 hunting tree stands, including Big Foot, Lite Foot, and Baby Big Foot models. The metal stands were manufactured in China and sold nationwide between May and September 2012. The recall was initiated because the snap-hook assemblies that attach the stand to a tree can fail, causing the stand and the hunter to fall. Rivers Edge has received three reports of these assemblies failing, resulting in injuries such as a broken toe, a lacerated hand, and various bumps and bruises. Consumers should immediately stop using these stands and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement part.
The snap-hook assembly used to secure the stand to a tree or pole can break or fail. If this happens while a hunter is using the stand, the entire unit can collapse or detach, causing the user to fall to the ground and suffer serious impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using recalled tree stands and contact Rivers Edge Tree Stands Inc. to receive a free replacement snap-hook assembly.
