CPSC and CESSO, LLC Announce Recall of Tree Stand Components

Why was Cpsc and Cesso recalled?

Product description

Levelers are designed for use with the "Tree Lounge" tree stand. The levelers are powder-coated green, with a T handle screw that spreads or contracts the two tubes of the leveler as necessary, in order to level the "Tree Lounge" as the diameter of the tree changes during ascent or descent.
