TAG Bags recall

[Pac8541]

I got a recall notice from Black Ovis regarding these game bags earlier in the week. When I tested the integrity of the bags using the process they outlined my bags appear to be affected by this recall. Black Ovis has been really good in handling the exchange and have stated that Prisitine Ventures, the company that manufacturers the bags, has dumped their entire inventory to fix the problem and that new bags will not be available until sometime in Jan. So, on the one hand I'm a little pissed that I've needed to spend $100 for $50 of bags but on the other, I'm very pleased with the communication and efforts Black Ovis is showing in trying to fix this. And all this comes exactly 1 week before the beginning of 2 back to back elk hunts. I bought a Caribou bag set that ships today. Black Ovis has said that returning the defective TAG bags is not necessary so at least I've got some general use bags to stuff clothing or whatever in. If you've purchased these this year, I'd suggest you check yours.

 

Here's the test procedure Black Ovis sent in their email:

 

Test - Not all bags are defective so we are asking that you test the material. Simply apply pressure to the bag itself by pulling it apart with both hands with a decent amount of force. If the seams or actual material don't hold up, you unfortunately received a defective set of bags.

Ok. Good advise.
