A company whose tree stands caused injuries to the hunters using them has reached a settlement with the government for $420,000, reports the Associated Press. The Associated Press reported that the United States Consumer Product Safety Division had originally sought $1.65 million. The government alleged that the company had received reports that the tree stands were becoming detached from trees, and that some hunters had suffered bone fractures and other injuries as they tumbled down, but that the company failed to tell the Consumer Product Safety Division about the problem.
