Petzl Recalls PIRANA Descender Canyoneering Devices Due to Drowning Risk

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

The hazard

The user's rope can get caught or wedged in the PIRANA blocking slot and stop or suspend the climber, posing a drowning risk if they are under a waterfall or pool.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled PIRANA descender devices and contact Petzl for a full refund, including shipping. Consumers will be provided a postage-paid label to return their recalled descender.
