Read about this in the Sunday Register. I don't know if anyone has posted this already but I thought I'd throw it out there incase some of you fellow IA Whitetailers are using these. Always think safety first.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">LADDER STANDS RECALLED: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of Kong Maxx Ladder Stands, which have been sold at Gander Mountain outlets.
About 6,000 of the stands, used for hunting and manufactured by Gorilla Inc., have been sold.
The ladder stands can become unstable while in use, causing the user to fall. The addition of one ladder section to the stand makes the platform farther away from the bracing. When the stand is at its full height, the distance between the bracing and the platform may result in platform instability prior to attachment to and/or detachment from the tree.
Gorilla Inc. has received two reports of consumers who fell from these ladder stands and suffered injuries to the back and knee. The recall involves stands with model number 43032 and batch numbers G051507, G051507D, G061507D, G071507D and G081507D.
For information, contact Gorilla Inc. at (800) 914-4567 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at http://www.gorillatreestands.com Consumers can also write the firm at:
Gorilla Inc.
3475 Eastman Drive
Flushing, Mich. 48433.
