DESCRIPTIONS OF RECALLED STANDS

The Model numbers are located both on the box that the stand came in, as well as in its instruction manual.

Model XSCT334 Silent Adrenaline 5X-1017 AND 5X-1517
UPC CODE: 816153011219 (UPC is located on the box).

Model XSCT355 Apache 5X-5317
UPC CODE: 816153011677 (UPC is located on the box).

The stands were made from lightweight aluminum. They have a black nylon seat, and padded arm rests and seat bar.
The recall was made because the cable assemblies on the treestand can corrode and separate, which could cause the user of the stand to fall.
