Safety ropes are being recalled by DICK’S Sporting Goods due to fall and injury hazards

DICK’S Sporting Goods is recalling about 63,000 Field & Stream safety ropes.

The ropes can fail when used in freezing conditions, posing fall and injury hazards.

The firm has received one report of the safety rope failing when used during freezing weather, resulting in a concussion and knee injury.

This recall involves Field & Stream Life Line, Linesman and Safety Ropes and are used to reduce the risk of a fall while climbing. The ropes are black with orange lines and were sold in a single or three pack. They have a carabineer that hooks onto the harness and a black-and-red label with the style number HEH01299, HEH01882Z, or HEH01530 printed in the bottom corner of the label.

The safety ropes were sold at DICK’S Sporting Goods and Field & Stream stores nationwide and online from June 2017 through March 2020 for between $20 and $80. They also were sold at Sportsman’s Warehouse stores nationwide from October 2019 through April 2020 for between $20 and $80.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ropes and return them to any DICK’s Sporting Goods or Field & Stream store if purchased at those stores or at Sportsman’s Warehouse store if purchased there, the companies and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise. Consumers with a receipt will receive a full refund and consumers without a receipt will receive a store credit for the purchase price.
