Kong Maxx Ladder Stands Sold at Gander Mountain Recalled Due to Fall Hazard
Gorilla Inc., of Flushing, Mich.
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.
