Around 32,500 Key West Knock Down Hammock Stands were recalled by The Hammock Source due to a problem with the weld that attaches the base to the stand. The recall was issued after 9 complaints of the weld breaking and causing the hammock stand to collapse. This is a fall hazard that puts the consumer at risk of serious injuries.
Owners can identify the hammock stands by the model code KW-
KDBRZ, which is located near the carry handle on a white label. The hammock stands were sold without hammocks and were only available at Lowes or lowes.com from October 2020 through May 2022. Affected customers should stop using the product and contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to receive a refund.
At the time of the recall, there were at least two incident reports of injuries, so you are not alone if this hammock stand has caused you to have an accident. As a recalled product injury victim, you may be eligible for a lawsuit against the manufacturer. To learn more about the compensation you may be entitled to, contact Normandie Law Firm at your earliest convenience.
