Hunter's View is expanding an earlier recall of safety harnesses sold with tree stands. It is also recalling the harnesses which were provided as replacements under an earlier recall.
The harnesses could fail during use, resulting in a hunter falling from the tree stand and suffering serious injuries or death.
The recall involves all 2004 and 2005 model year Fall Arrest Systems (FAS), or harnesses with 'Model Year 2004' or 'Model Year 2005' printed on a white Hunter's View label attached to the harness or the tree strap. The recall includes all model number harnesses sold during these years. The recall also includes replacement harnesses provided to consumers as a result of the previous recall.
The harnesses were sold by hunting and sporting good stores nationwide beginning in January 2004 for between $30 and $300.
Consumers should stop using these harnesses immediately and contact Hunter's View to receive a free replacement harness. Consumers who previously participated in this recall are being directly contacted about this recall. As an alternative to the free replacement harness, the firm also is offering an upgraded harness at a reduced cost.
Consumer Contact: Call Hunter's View at (888) 878-0440 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit their Web site at www.huntersview.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
