Delta Cycle Recalls Ceiling Hoists With Straps

Randolph, Massachusetts-based Delta Cycle Corp. is recalling about 25,140 units of Ceiling Hoists with Straps citing risk of injury, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. In addition, about 3,390 units were sold in Canada.

The recall involves Ceiling Hoists with Straps with model number RS2300 and various serial numbers. The product can lift bicycles, kayaks, ladders, boxes and other large objects off the floor using a pulley system.

The impacted units were manufactured in China and sold at REI and various other independent stores, and online at Amazon.com and designbydelta.com from February 2017 through July 2024 for about $40.

The agency noted that 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.

The recall was initiated after the firm received four reports of incidents, including one minor injury. No recall action is required if the ceiling hoists are used without the use of straps.

Consumers are urged to stop using the Ceiling Hoist with Straps and contact Delta Cycle Corp to receive free replacement straps.

In similar recalls, Marlborough, Massachusetts-based BJ’s Wholesale Club in mid August called back about 32,500 units of Berkley Jensen Gazebos citing injury risk.

Shawshank LEDz in mid-August called back about 9,600 units of Squeeze Plush Ball Monsters Toys and Easter Squeezable Toys due to risk of injury.
