Black Diamond has recalled approximately 45,500 Camalot and Camalot Ultralight camming climbing devices because they can come apart and fail during use. This recall affects all sizes of Camalot devices (sizes 0.3 to 6) and Camalot Ultralight devices (sizes 0.4 to 4) manufactured between late 2015 and early 2016. These devices were sold nationwide at specialty outdoor retailers like REI and Eastern Mountain Sports, as well as online. Consumers should stop using these devices immediately and contact Black Diamond for a free inspection and replacement if necessary.
The axle ends of the camming devices may be unformed, which can cause the device to come apart and fail while in use. This failure would prevent the device from securing a climber's rope, posing a serious fall hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled camming devices and contact Black Diamond for inspection and replacement instructions. Instructions for inspection are also available at https://warranty.bdel.com/CamalotRecall/Landing. Only those camming devices that have unformed axle ends are included in the recall.
Camalots, Sizes 0.3 thru 6
Camalot Ultralights, Sizes 0.4 thru 4
