Snowpulse is recalling about 1,200 avalanche airbags because a leak in the air cartridge can prevent the airbag from inflating during an emergency. This recall affects Snowpulse Avalanche airbags with inflation-system 1.0 cartridges from model years 2008 to 2010. These packs, ranging from 15 to 45 liters, were sold for between $900 and $1,200 at specialty outdoor and motorsports stores between September 2008 and April 2012. No injuries have been reported, but the failure of the device during an avalanche poses a high risk of death or serious injury. Consumers should immediately stop using these airbags and contact Snowpulse for a free replacement cartridge.
A leak in the pressure cartridge can cause the airbag to fail to deploy when triggered. If the airbag does not inflate during an avalanche, it will not help keep the user above the snow surface, significantly increasing the risk of burial, injury, or death.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled airbags and contact Snowpulse for a replacement cartridge.
