Emergency room Made Apr 5, 2013, sent to the company Apr 15, 2013, published by CPSC Apr 29, 2013
The product, in the report: Easton FlatLine 6.5gpi 500 series carbon fiber arrows
[REDACTED] is an experienced archer, an archery instructor and a registered nurse (as well as an Emergency Medical Technician). He has been active in the sport of archery for approximately 20 years. By the date of the injury described in greater detail below, he had shot tens of thousands of arrows without incident. On Thursday, August 23, 2012, [REDACTED] purchased six Easton FlatLine D.O.A. carbon fiber arrows (model 6.5gpi 500) from a sporting goods store in Bridgeport, Alabama. As it had in the past, the store cut the arrow shafts to the appropriate length and installed target shooting points. On Saturday, August 25, 2012, [REDACTED] went to a friend’s farm on Weiss Lake in Leesburg, Alabama, to shoot the arrows at a Morrell Yellow Jacket Fieldpoint Target. He used a [REDACTED] single cam compound bow that was purchased new in 2010 and that was in perfectly good working order. Around 5:00 pm that day, he prepared to shoot at his target from a distance of approximately 65 yards. He had never shot these particular Easton carbon fiber arrows before. Prior to firing any of the arrows, he performed a visual inspection and flex testing. During that first run through, and specifically on his fifth shot of the afternoon of an arrow that had never been fired before, the arrow unexpectedly broke/splintered upon release and punctured his left arm/wrist area. [REDACTED] went to the Riverview Hospital emergency room in Gadsden, Alabama, where they performed a debridement. He had to return to the hospital on August 31, 2012 for the first of two surgeries. The ER records reflect a wound repair of a linear shaped subcutaneous laceration of approximately 3cm (1.2 inches) to the left wrist. His surgeon remarked that the wound was a 3.5cm incision over the radial aspect of his wrist, near the first dorsal compartment and may have been slightly dorsal to that. He also suffered a rupture of his extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon. As a result of the shattered arrow shaft, he suffered extreme nerve damage to his arm, wrist and hand. He has undergone considerable physical therapy and has been unable to return to work since this incident. [REDACTED] M&A THE LAW OFFICES OF Mastando & Artrip LLC
