Hazard

The treestand's bracket can bend if not secured properly by a chain and if weight is applied. This can cause the chain to disengage from the stand, the stand to separate from the tree and the user to fall and suffer serious injuries.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the treestand immediately and contact Ameristep Customer Service or any of the retailers to receive information on properly setting up the unit.

Incidents & injuries

Tahsin received one report in which a person fell from an unknown elevation, while using the treestand.
