  1. Death

    Made Oct 14, 2016, sent to the company Oct 24, 2016, published by CPSC Nov 7, 2016

    The product, in the report: The product was a full-body fall arrest system manufactured by C & S Global Imports. The model number was CSFAS2009. The label containing the model number was sewn into the harness and the tree strap.

    On October 6, 2012 my son fell from a Hunter’s View treestand which was manufactured by C & S Global Imports. His full-body fall arrest system (harness) broke at the tree strap. The harness was manufactured by C & S Global Imports and had a label with the number CSFAS2009 sewn into the harness and the tree strap. The tree strap was not cut, it tore apart. My son died as a result of this fall.

    Please refer to previous recalls of similar harnesses, your file number RP050173. Hunters View harnesses were recalled in 2005 and again in 2007.

    The 2009 harnesses should be recalled.

  2. Emergency room

    Made Sep 25, 2013, sent to the company Oct 21, 2013, published by CPSC Nov 12, 2013

    The product, in the report: Hunter’s View Two man 17 foot ladder tree stand with 500 lb rating.

    While removing a two man ladder tree stand from a tree the ladder stabilizer bar slipped allowing the ladder to bend causing a fall, which ended in a broken foot.

    There were three of us moving the stand. Two on the ground and one unfastening the straps at the top. The ladder stabilizer bar is a two piece square tube bar to stiffen the ladder. Unlike other brands that use tractor pins, Hunter’s View uses a set screw with a plastic handle. We were moving the ladder stand in the morning and overnight there was a heavy dew. The set screw slipped (slid) causing a jerk inward in the middle of the ladder. This caused the top to bend out away from the tree.

    All factory instructions for set and removal were followed.

    Recommend that the set screw be replaced with a tractor pin to avoid further falls and injuries. The stand itself is solid.
