CPSC and CESSO, LLC Announce Recall of Tree Stand Components

Reported: May 18, 2004 Initiated: May 18, 2004 #04137

Product Description

Levelers are designed for use with the "Tree Lounge" tree stand. The levelers are powder-coated green, with a T handle screw that spreads or contracts the two tubes of the leveler as necessary, in order to level the "Tree Lounge" as the diameter of the tree changes during ascent or descent.

Reason for Recall

If the "Tree Lounge" is subjected to significant impact from a heavy load, a tube on the leveler can crack. If the leveler is installed beneath the "Tree Lounge," the bolts attaching the leveler to the "Tree Lounge" can bend or begin to pull through the leveler. In either of these circumstances, users can lose their balance and possibly fall.

Remedy

Consumers should return their levelers to the firm for a free repair.
