(TNS) — FeraDyne Outdoors has recalled tree stands because the safety harness with the stand may fail.
The company on Dec. 21, 2023, recalled 50,000 Rhino tree stands that were sold at hunting and supply stores nationwide as well as online at Amazon and other websites from February 2021 through December 2022 for between $110 and $360, according to an announcement with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
“Testing determined the safety harness does not comply with voluntary industry safety standard, ASTM F2337-21, and the stitching can rip, posing a fall hazard to the user.”
The recalled harnesses have the model numbers RTH-2000S and RTH-2001S and were sold as part of Rhino Tree Stands/Ladder Stands that have model numbers: RTH-100, RTH-200, RTL-100, RTL-200, RTL-300, RTL-400, RTL-1000, RTL-3000 and RTL-4000.
The harnesses “have black cloth strips with a white cloth tether stitched together with orange thread. The safety harness model number is printed on a label included with each harness that says “RTH-2000S” or “RTH-2001S”. This safety harness was included in the box of the following tree-stand/ladder-stand products.
Owners can contact FeraDyne Outdoors for instructions to receive a free replacement harness. Shipping also will be free. Owners will need to submit proof of destruction of the original safety harness.
