RE: Ol’Man treestand recall
Don't get all in a tizzy about this recall. It is nothing more than replacing the pins and there is nothing wrong with the stands either.
There is nothing wrong with the pins to begin with but people don't like to read directions orwatch theinstructional DVD and were installing the pins incorectly and climbing incorectly which is causing them to come unhooked.
Simply call the number provided and you will be sent new pins.
