WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), API Outdoors, a division of Outland Sports Inc., of Tallulah, La., is voluntarily recalling 54,000 treestands and treeseats used by hunters. The seat of these devices can collapse, causing the consumer to fall to the ground and suffer injury.

These treestands have non-slip safety straps and a safety belt. The Bobcat Treeseat with model number AL910 also is part of this recall. A label on the attachment belt below the seat reads, "The Alum-I-Lite Bobcat Treeseat, Model AL-910." The seats with the treestands and treeseats are covered with camouflage fabric.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
