Millennium Treestand Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

A fall from a Millennium treestand can cause serious injury. Millennium Outdoors, of Pearl, Miss., makes hang-on, ladder and tripod stands and climbing sticks for hunters, including the M100 Ultralite and M150 Monster hang-on stands. As of October 2026, no MDL covers Millennium treestands and no lawsuit or class action over them has been reported. The only agency action is the CPSC recall of the 2015 model M-60 fixed position stand, announced on September 30, 2015, because its seat can bend downward and cause a fall.

Latest Millennium Treestand Lawsuit Updates

September 30, 2015: CPSC Announces the M-60 Tree Stand Recall

The CPSC announced recall 15-258 of about 1,400 2015 model M-60 fixed position tree stands made by Millennium Outdoors LLC. The seat can bend downward, posing a fall hazard. The notice reports no incidents [1]. Consumers should immediately stop using the stands and return them to the manufacturer for a replacement stand. The notice lists Millennium Outdoors at 844-766-0468 for questions.

Who May Be Affected?

Hunters may be affected if a stand from Millennium Treestands gave way in a fall. They may also be affected if a Millennium climbing stick gave way. Millennium makes the M100 Ultralite and M150 Monster hang-on stands, plus the L110 21FT Single Ladder Stand and L-220 Double Ladder Stand. It also makes the T100 10ft Aluminum Tripod and M210 20′ Climbing Stick [2]. If you own the recalled 2015 M-60 stand, check where you bought it. Stores sold it from May 2015 through August 2015 for about $220, including B&H Farm Supply, Farris Brothers, Gander Mountain, Midway USA and Sportsman’s Warehouse. Whether you qualify depends on an individual legal review of the facts of your fall, such as the stand model and how it failed.

Reported Injuries or Damages

In its publication “Hunting Treestands and Harnesses,” CPSC says hunters are killed or seriously injured in falls every hunting season [3]. CPSC received reports of 41 treestand-related deaths from 2005 through 2007. During the same period, CPSC staff estimated about 19,000 treestand-related injuries. Many incidents occur while hunters are stepping onto or from the treestand’s platform. These figures cover treestands of every brand and are not specific to Millennium. Reports like these do not prove that a stand defect caused any one injury. The publication advises hunters to use a full-body harness approved by the Treestand Manufacturers Association. A single-strap or waist-type harness, it warns, can lead to strangulation in a fall.

Recall and Regulatory Background

CPSC’s 2015 recall 15-258 covers only the model M-60. A recall does not by itself establish liability. For another treestand recall, see our Big Game treestand recall page.

Evidence to Preserve

Keep these items exactly as they were after the fall:

• The stand itself, with its straps, chains and pins, and any climbing sticks or failed parts
• The harness and lifeline in use, since CPSC’s Hunting Treestands and Harnesses publication advises replacing a harness after any fall
• Photos of the stand, the tree and the setup, taken before anything is moved or repaired
• The model name, serial or lot marks and labels on the stand, plus the printed manual
• The purchase receipt or order record showing where and when you bought the stand
• Medical and emergency treatment records for the fall and any follow-up care
• Names and statements of anyone who saw the fall or the stand failing

Store the stand and its parts in a dry place, away from the weather. Do not clean or repair them, since any change can hide how the stand failed.

Filing Deadlines

Every injury claim has a filing deadline. That deadline comes from state law, so it varies with where you live. It also depends on when your fall and injury happened, so write down the date of the fall and of each treatment. Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the facts are strong, so check with a lawyer promptly about your own dates.
