The Hammock Source is recalling about 32,500 Key West knock down hammock stands that were sold exclusively at Lowe’s due to a fall hazard.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the weld attaching the stand to the base can break, posing a fall hazard.

The hammock stands were sold under the Key West brand with the model code KW-KDBRZ. The Hammock Source, the model code and “Steel Hammock Stand” are printed on a white label on the outer package near the carry handle. The hammock stands were sold only as stands without hammocks.

The Hammock Source has received nine reports of the stands breaking at the base including two reports of scrapes and bruises.
