Primal Vantage recalls plastic tree steps with fall hazard. Models 105 and 155 with 12/08 date code need immediate stop use for safety.
Fall
Primal Vantage is recalling plastic tree steps that can cause falls. These steps attach to trees with a nylon strap and metal buckle for climbing. Using them without proper safety could lead to injury.
The tree steps can detach from the tree during use, causing users to fall. This fall hazard occurs because the nylon strap and metal buckle may not stay securely attached under climbing pressure.
Anyone who owns the Ameristep Plastic Strap-On Tree Step models 105 or 155 with a 12/08 date code. Tree climbers using these steps are most at risk of falls.
Check for the 12/08 date code stamped on the plastic portion of the step. Models 105 and 155 are affected. These steps were sold with the date code stamped on the plastic part.
Immediately stop using the tree steps to prevent falls.
