Petzl America Recalls Climbing Equipment Due to Fall Hazard

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

These carabiners have a green button that acts as a safety mechanism to prevent unlocking. The recalled carabiners can unlock unexpectedly without pressing the green button, posing a fall hazard.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled carabiners immediately, and contact Petzl America to have their carabiners inspected and to receive a free replacement, if necessary.
