Description
This recall involves Gorilla Kong Maxx Ladder Stands with model number 43032 and batch numbers G051507, G051507D, G061507D, G071507D, and G081507D. Model numbers are printed on the box only. Batch numbers are stamped on the vertical rail of the first ladder section. The stand is 19 feet to the shooting rail, or 16 feet 8 inches to the platform. The foot platform measures 17½ inches wide. This is the only Gorilla, Inc. ladder stand with these dimensions.
Hazard
The ladder stands can become unstable while in use, causing the user to fall. The addition of one ladder section to the stand makes the platform further away from the bracing. When the stand is at its full height, the distance between the bracing and the platform may result in platform instability prior to attachment to and/or detachment from the tree.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the ladder stands and contact Gorilla Inc. to receive a refund.
Incidents and injuries
Gorilla Inc. has received two reports of consumers who fell from these ladder stands and suffered injuries to the back and knee.
