Crosman Crossbow Rope Cocking Devices
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Tabs on the hooks attaching the rope cocking device to the crossbow string can bind as the device is pulled back, causing the hooks to break and the rope to recoil, posing a risk of injury, including laceration.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Risk of severe physical injury.
