Hoist with Straps holding kayak

About 25,140 (In addition, about 3,390 were sold in Canada) Ceiling Hoists with Straps are being recalled for replacement because the plastic buckles on the straps being used to hold a kayak, canoe or other large objects with the ceiling hoist can break, posing an injury hazard to consumers.

Recall Date:

September 05, 2024

Description:

This recall involves Ceiling Hoists with Straps with model number RS2300. The model number is only listed on the product packaging. The product can lift bicycles, kayaks, ladders, boxes and other large objects off the floor using a pulley system. Note that no recall action is required if the ceiling hoists are used without the use of straps. Units affected by this recall will have serial numbers within one of the 16 ranges listed in the table below on the bottom of the pulley or will NOT have a serial number at all.

The serial number is located on the underside of the flat part of the ~6" long pulleys where the pulleys attach to the ceiling. Unscrew the flat plate from the ceiling to check the underside to locate the serial number.

Remedy:

Consumers should immediately stop using the Ceiling Hoist with Straps and contact Delta Cycle Corp to receive free replacement straps. Consumers should cut the old straps with buckles in half and discard them. If consumers are using the ceiling hoist to hold a bicycle (and not using included straps), no recall action is needed.

Incidents/Injuries:

The firm has received four reports of incidents, including one minor injury.
