Ameristep Tree Staps The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Primal Vantage Co., has announced a voluntary recall of about 16,000 Ameristep Plastic Strap-On tree steps. According to the CPSC, Primal Vantage has received five complaints of step breakage, including two reports of consumers being bruised and cut.
The tree steps attach to a tree via a nylon strap and large metal buckle and are used to climb the tree in order to hunt from an elevated position. Models 105 and 155 both have a 12/08 date code, which is stamped on the plastic portion of the step. The product was sold in 2009 at various outdoor and sporting goods retailers nationwide as a 3-step package in model 105 or as a single step in model 155.
