The recall involves the Cabela’s Ultimate Alaknak Outfitter, Instinct Outfitter and Big Horn 6P tents, supplied by Westfield Outdoor and sold to consumers at Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shop stores and online. The tents’ sizes range from 10 feet by 10 feet to 13 feet by 27 feet and are sold in green. The name, model number, manufacturing date code (HF MMDDYY) providing the place and date of manufacture, and SKU of the tent, are printed on the inside of the tent on the sewn-in warning label. The tents are designed for the optional use of a wood stove inside. The stove pipe exits the tent through the stove jack ring which provides a seal between the stove pipe and the tent.
The tent’s stove jack ring can deteriorate when exposed to high temperatures from contact with a stove pipe and create smoke inside the tent, posing a risk of injury from smoke inhalation.
As of July 14, 2022 Westfield Outdoor has received 3 reports of the stove jack ring deteriorating due to heat and creating smoke in Canada, and 1 report of smoke inhalation and frostbite related to discontinuing the use of a wood stove while camping. In the United States, the company has received no reports of incidents and no reports of injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using a wood stove inside the tents and contact Westfield Outdoor for a free replacement stove jack ring. Consumers can remove the old stove jack ring from the tent and install the replacement ring by following the instructions provided with the replacement ring. Westfield Outdoor is contacting all known purchasers directly.
