WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced today that a Wisconsin-based tree stand manufacturer has agreed to pay (pdf) the government a $420,000 civil penalty. The penalty settles a government lawsuit alleging that Ardisam Inc, of Cumberland, Wis., failed to immediately report to the CPSC serious injuries to hunters with its Big Foot and Lite Foot series hunting tree stands. In July 2004, 78,000 of these tree stands were recalled by the company.

The lawsuit against Ardisam alleged that the company received reports of incidents beginning in April 2000, involving tree stands that unexpectedly detached from trees. These incidents resulted in broken bones or other serious injuries to hunters. The lawsuit alleged that Ardisam failed to immediately report this information to the CPSC as required by federal law. The lawsuit alleged Ardisam eventually reported to the CPSC in May 2004.

\”The law is clear – companies must immediately tell CPSC about products that could pose a substantial risk or create an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death\” said CPSC Acting Chairman Nancy Nord. \”The quicker a company tells CPSC about a dangerous product, the quicker we can work to protect the health and safety of consumers.\”

Under the Consumer Product Safety Act, manufacturers, distributors and retailers are required to immediately report to the CPSC information about products that could create a substantial risk of injury or that create an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death.

In resolving the lawsuit, Ardisam denied the allegations that it violated federal law or failed to immediately report to the CPSC.

The Office of Consumer Litigation of the U.S. Department of Justice brought this case before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin on behalf of the CPSC.—

To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury, call CPSC\’s hotline at (800) 638-2772 or CPSC\’s teletypewriter at (800) 638-8270, or visit CPSC\’s web site at www.cpsc.gov/talk.html.

On Jan. 17, Sgt. 1st Class Shawn Farnsworth and five of his fellow soldiers will travel from all over the country to Southwest Colorado. Due to the Colorado Division of Wildlife’s late-season cow elk tags, they’ll have the opportunity to do something many of them have not done in years: hunt.

Several local businesses and hunting groups — including Colorado Hunting Expeditions, Mesa Verde Elk Ranch and the Four Corners Chapter of Safari Club International — are determined to make it a trip none of them will forget.

Colorado Hunting Expedition’s Bob and Terri Luna have offered to host the soldiers, along with their families, for an entire weekend of fun-filled activities. All told, more than 15 people are expected to descend on the Lunas’ Dolores hunting lodge Jan. 17-21.
