The wading staff can collapse posing a fall hazard to consumers.
Simms is recalling wading staffs that can collapse, posing a fall hazard. This affects customers who own the silver-colored staffs with specific item numbers. Stopping use and getting a replacement or refund is required to prevent injury.
The wading staffs can collapse under normal use, causing users to fall. This collapse risk is due to the staff's design and materials, which may fail when supporting a person's weight.
