Tree Stands for Hunters
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Rivers Edge Tree Stands Inc. is recalling multiple models of its Big Foot, Lite Foot, and Baby Big Foot tree stands due to a hazard where the snap-hook assemblies can fail, causing the tree stand and user to fall to the ground. The recalled tree stands are metal stands with dark gray finish, black nylon straps with white stitching, and camouflage and black seats featuring a yellow Rivers Edge logo. The affected models include the Big Foot (RE500), Big Foot XL (RE501), Lite Foot (RE503), Baby Big Foot (RE504), Big Foot with Footrest (RE506), Big Foot XL with Footrest (RE507), Big Foot XL with Fast Sticks (RE510), and Big Foot XL Lounger (RE511).
Consumers can identify recalled tree stands by looking for the date "2012" on the round ID tag located on the crossbar beneath the seat and the absence of an orange dot and an "X" stamped on the snap-hook. According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tree stands and contact Rivers Edge Tree Stands Inc. to receive a free replacement snap-hook assembly.
