The sensor that senses whether an arrow is properly loaded can malfunction, which can cause the crossbow to fire unexpectedly, posing an injury hazard to the user or a bystander.
The company has received three reports of the crossbow firing unexpectedly, resulting in one report of a hand laceration.
This recall involves six models of Barnett crossbows that can be identified by their model numbers printed on the limbs of the riser and dome label on the bow. The following crossbows are included in the recall:
Name of Product | Model |
