Liberty Mountain and Beal Sas have recalled about 1,400 Beal Birdie Belay Devices, which are used by rock climbers to arrest falls or lower climbers. The hand lever on the device can detach during use, making it impossible to lower the climber safely. Consumers should check their device for the laser-marked batch year "/19" on the side; only units with this marking are included in the recall. Consumers should stop using these devices and follow the steps in Your Remedy Options to receive a free replacement.
The hand lever can become detached from the belay device, preventing the user from lowering the climber and posing a risk of injury. The firm has received three reports of this failure, though no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Beal Birdie Belay Devices and contact Liberty Mountain for a free replacement.
