About 220,000 arrow nocks from Ravin Crossbows are being recalled.
According to a statement from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, if the nock is not fully engaged with the bowstring, the crossbow can fail to discharge when the trigger is pulled and can result in the bow discharging while re-nocking of the arrow, posing an injury hazard to users.
Ravin Crossbows has received 44 reports of the arrow nocks malfunctioning. There were 23 reports of finger injuries, including six serious injuries. The item was sold at Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Dicks Sporting Goods stores and other stores nationwide from October 2016 through November 2017 for between $8 and $15 when sold separately from other equipment. The arrow nocks were also included as original equipment with Ravin crossbows sold for between $1,500 and $2,000 and Ravin arrows sold for between $75 and $110.
Ravin Crossbows is urging consumers to replace the item. Consumers are urged to call 888-298-6335 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, e-mail at nockupdate@ravincrossbows.com or go online at ravincrossbows.com and click on Safety and Instructions for more information.
