Bohning Recalls Hunting Crossbows Due to Injury Hazard; Can Fire Unexpectedly

Is my product affected?

Middleton Siege Crossbows

  • Brand The Bohning Company Ltd., of Lake City, Mich.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Bohning is recalling "The Siege" hunting crossbows with model numbers 315, 330, 355, and 375 because the auto-safety mechanism can fail, allowing the crossbow to fire unexpectedly when the trigger is pulled even though the safety appears to be engaged. This poses an injury risk to the user and bystanders. Additionally, the crossbow limbs can crack or break during normal use. The recalled crossbows are 36 to 39 inches long, camouflage or black in color, and have a scope mounted on top. They were sold with a scope, arrow quiver, quiver brackets, cocking aid, and string changer.

According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled crossbows and contact Bohning to return them for a full refund. Bohning is contacting customers directly about the recall.
