02/29 Twin Oaks Recalling Hammock Stands
Twin Oaks is recalling its Standard and Economy Hammock Stands after it was found that the recalled product contained faulty foot brackets that could potentially crack while in use, thereby posing a fall hazard to consumers. The recall was announced in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and affects about 2,300 hammock stands. The company has so far received 43 incidents regarding cracked foot brackets. None of the incidents reported to date have resulted in injury to consumers, however several reports indicate that consumers fell to the ground as the foot bracket collapsed while in use. The recalled hammocks have model numbers 14015 or 14016 printed on the products instructions manual. Those with the recalled hammocks can contact the company at (800) 688-8946 to receive a replacement, free of charge.
