Hazard

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.

Incidents & injuries

CESSO has received three reports of consumer injury associated with leveler failure.

Product description
