StoreYourBoard.com has recalled approximately 36,700 Hi-Lift Storage Hoist Classic and Pro models due to a defect where the green polypropylene straps can snap during use. When these straps break, the heavy items being stored—such as kayaks or cargo boxes—can fall from the ceiling without warning. There have been six reports of these straps breaking, though no injuries have been reported yet. These hoists were sold online through StoreYourBoard, Amazon, Walmart, and eBay between January 2018 and June 2020 for about $35, and the company is offering free black replacement straps to all affected customers.
The green straps can fail and break while supporting heavy equipment, causing the suspended objects to fall onto anyone standing or walking beneath the hoist. This poses a significant risk of impact injuries or property damage from falling gear.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled straps and contact StoreYourBoard.com for instructions on proper disposal of the green straps and how to receive free black replacement straps. StoreYourBoard.com is contacting all known purchasers directly.
