Big Game and API stands recalled. Article below has the links to each recall notice: http://www.wwmt.com/news/features/t...l-notices-issued-for-tree-stands-221679.shtml
I was contacted by Big Game a few months ago, had to call a # and give my mailing address and they sent replacement cables. It was an easy fix. Of course the new cables look just like the old ones, except double-crimped.
