CAMP USA is recalling about 500 Tour Nanotech Automatic and Semi-Automatic crampons because a critical component called the heel bail can detach while in use. These crampons are steel plates with spikes that attach to boots for ice climbing. One incident of the heel bail detaching has been reported, although no injuries have occurred. The affected products were sold at specialty outdoor retailers and online at sites like backcountry.com and camp-usa.com between June 2013 and June 2015. Consumers should stop using these crampons immediately and contact CAMP USA for a free replacement.
The heel bail, which secures the ankle strap to the metal crampon, can break or detach during use. If this happens while ice climbing, the crampon could fall off the boot, causing the climber to lose traction and fall.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and contact the firm for a free pair of replacement crampons.
