Hazard

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 further 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.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the ladder stands and contact Gorilla Inc. to receive a refund.

Incidents & injuries

Gorilla Inc. has received two reports of consumers who fell from these ladder stands and suffered injuries to the back and knee.
