• Gander Mountain Treestand Recall Due to Lawsuit Brought by Livingston County Man
  Dec 03, 2009

       Scott D. Cannon, personal injury attorney in Geneseo, New York, is pleased to announce that as a result of a lawsuit he has brought against Gander Mountain Company on behalf of a Livingston County man, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled approximately thirteen thousand defective deer hunting treestands nationwide.
       The treestands recalled are 2008 models GMT101 and GMT 103.  Cannon relates that the reason the treestands are being recalled is because they may collapse without warning, causing the hunter and treestand to fall to the ground, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.  According to Cannon and the forensic engineer he hired on the case from Madison Wisconsin, Dennis Skogen, the collapse was caused by design and manufacturing defects.  Among other defects, a spring snap, which snap was intended to be attached to a bracket on the stand thereby keeping the unit attached to the tree, is prone to failure.
       In addition to the dangers posed by defective treestands and falling out of a tree, Cannon also warns all hunters who hunt from treestands to make sure they wear a passive restraint harness that will safely lower them to the ground automatically in the event of a fall.  Any other type of harness that will result in the hunter being suspended from the tree could cause aphyixiation or death, according to Cannon.
       If you have purchased one of the recalled treestands from Gander Mountain Company, you may phone Gander Mountain at (888) 542-6337 to obtain a refund or exchange.  You may also call the Consumer Product Safety Commission at (800) 638-2772. - 2 - 10
