CAMP USA is recalling approximately 900 Cassin Blade Runner and Blade Runner Alpine crampons. The front portion of the crampon, where the points connect to the main frame, can break during use. There have been three reports of these crampons breaking while climbing, though no injuries have occurred. These crampons were sold nationwide at specialty outdoor retailers and online at backcountry.com, camp-usa.com, and mountaingear.com from June 2013 through June 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact CAMP USA for a free repair kit.
The front points can snap off from the main crampon frame during ice or snow climbing, causing the climber to lose their footing and potentially fall from significant heights.
Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled crampons and contact the firm for instructions on receiving free replacement parts.
