Which ones does it cover?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using VONLX Hunting Safety Ropes immediately because the rope can snap if a consumer falls from a hunting stand while attached to the rope, posing a risk of serious injury or death from falling to the ground. The Chinese seller VONLX has not agreed to recall these ropes or offer a remedy to consumers. The hunting safety ropes have a 30 foot long, primary or “main” rope, which is thicker and has a black and yellow pattern, a black rope that is thinner and is fashioned into a prusik knot, and a metal carabiner with a nylon cover and swivel nut to ensure that the carabiner stays closed during use. The carabiner is secured to the main rope via the thinner black rope and can be adjusted to the user’s desired length.Report any incidents involving injury or product defect to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.
