The product, in the report: hunting tree stand
11/8/2022: The 72” tall, 205 lbs., consumer was using the tree stand, when it failed. He said that the tree stand is rated for 300 lbs. capacity. He was not injured.
The tree stand has a base and seat. When you push up on the seat and lift your legs, the seat raises, similar to a car jack. He was raising the height of the stand when it failed.
The consumer contacted the manufacturer by email and reported the problem to them. The firm’s rep. repeatedly told him that the product has a 1 year warranty and there was nothing they would do for him.
Approximately 3 – 4 years ago, the consumer had an identical tree stand, which was made by this same exact manufacturer, and it failed in the exact same manner. He was not injured. He called the manufacturer and reported it to them. They sent him this replacement stand, and asked him to send the old one back to them in the same box, and he did as requested.
The consumer noted that most hunters only use these stands a couple times per year and put them up. So they could have an issue and not be aware of it.
The consumer said this presents a definite safety hazard, especially since it was a replacement tree stand sent by the manufacturer.

The product, in the report: X-Stand Climbing Treestand Silent Adrenaline XSCT334
My 61 YO husband was climbing a tree when the metal cable broke due to corrosion resulting in him falling 20-25’ to the ground. He has multiple fractures to his left hip/pelvis, 2 fractured ribs, a fractured sternum, and a fractured C7 in his spine. He was flown to Shock Trauma and spent 4 days in the UMMC Shock Trauma ICU unit. I found a recall through this site a few days after the incident that the SAME EXACT MODEL TREESTAND (but “manufactured” in 2017) was recalled for the SAME EXACT REASON. The prior year should have been recalled as well and my husband would not be seriously injured from this product!

In two more weeks the consumer has a follow-up appointment with his doctor so it can be evaluated or not if he will need back surgery.

The consumer plans on keeping his climbing tree stand for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.

No one hurt Made Nov 20, 2020, sent to the company Dec 10, 2020, published by CPSC Dec 28, 2020
The product, in the report: The product is a model STCT10 X-stand climber tree stand. It has a netted seat, fold down arms for easy storage and transit, and a rectangular strapping system that consists of segments with holes in them for adjustment, (tree size), and flexibility purposes. These segments are held together by two braided cables that pass through each segment. This assembly is then encased in a soft plastic cover to provide friction against the tree trunk.
My friend and I purchased two X-stand Tree stands similar to the two models that are currently recalled. Those two stands, (models XSCT355 and XSCT334), use a rectangular, segmented strap that breaks due to corrosion of the braided cable. My Model STCT10 stand uses the same strap design. I purchased the stand in 2018 and the batch number is 1S-2217. All four straps from these two stands are broken in the manner described in the recall. Two weeks ago, I had climbed down out of the tree and was bundling the stand for transit out of the woods when I noticed that the straps were broken. These straps have two strands of braided cables, and in each of these, one of the braided cables were broken. I investigated the stand manufacturer and found the existing recall for the two other models. I then contacted Alliance Outdoor Products and was told that even though my cables broke in the same manner as those in the stands under recall, they would not refund the purchase price. I was told that the reason they were breaking is that people were leaving their stands outside in inclement weather! They also said that they would not refund me as the model I purchased was not under recall. I don’t know why it wouldn’t be. They fail in the exact same manner. I do not care about the refund, I simply want this company to address the safety issue that they are now aware of. My friend and I could have both been severely injured had the cables failed completely or had we tried to climb again without noticing the failure of the one braided cable.
