If you own a Coleman Converta Cot or Converta Camping Suspension Stretcher, it may be part of a voluntary safety recall due to a risk of finger injuries — including cuts or amputations — when adjusting the backrest.
So far, 7 injuries have been reported, and more than 228,000 units are affected.
What’s Being Recalled and Why
Coleman is recalling two types of camping cots due to sharp metal edges on the back hinge.
Adjusting the reclining angle without the repair kit installed can cause serious finger injuries.
Injury risk: Cuts, pinching, and even finger amputations
Reported injuries: 7
