Rivers Edge recalls Big Foot, Lite Foot and Baby Big Foot tree stands due to snap-hook failure risk causing falls. Affected models have 2012 on ID tag and lack orange dot/X stamp. Consumers must stop using and get free replacement snap-hook.
The snap-hook assemblies can fail, causing the tree stand and the user to fall to the ground.
Rivers Edge is recalling several tree stands for hunters because the snap-hook assembly can fail, causing users to fall. This recall affects specific models with a 2012 date stamp on the ID tag and no orange dot/X mark on the snap-hook.
The snap-hook assembly can fail under normal use, causing the tree stand to detach from the tree and the user to fall to the ground. This failure could lead to serious injury or death due to the height of the stand.
Hunters who own the recalled tree stands are affected. Those using the stands without the required safety features are at highest risk of falling.
Check for a 2012 date on the round ID tag under the seat. Also look for the absence of an orange dot and an 'X' stamp on the snap-hook assembly.
Immediately stop using the recalled tree stands as they can cause falls.
