Pride Family Brands of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is recalling about 13,900 Destination Summer hammock stands in the U.S. and Canada.
Z-shaped hooks that attach the hammock to the hammock stand can bend or break, resulting in a consumer falling to the ground.
The firm has received 13 reports of the z-shaped hooks bending or breaking, resulting in consumers falling to the ground and injuring various body parts.
The recalled hammock stand was sold under the Bed Bath & Beyond Destination Summer private label. The bronze-colored heavy gauge steel hammock stand with enamel finish measures 15 feet long by 3.5 feet wide by four feet high.
The hammock stands, manufactured in China, were sold exclusively at Bed Bath & Beyond stores nationwide and online at www.bedbathandbeyond.com from March 2014, through July 2015, for about $100.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product, dispose of the Z-shaped hooks and contact Pride Family Brands to obtain a free set of heavier-gauged, S-shaped replacement hooks.
