Mervin Manufacturing is recalling approximately 6,800 pairs of GNU snowboard bindings in the U.S. (and 1,200 in Canada) because the ankle straps can break unexpectedly while in use. The firm has received 30 reports of these binding straps breaking, which can cause a rider to lose control or fall. The recalled bindings were sold in men's, youth, and women's sizes at REI, Specialty Sports Inc., and online at backcountry.com between August 2012 and March 2013.
The ankle straps on the bindings can snap or break during use, which can cause the rider's boot to become detached from the snowboard, leading to a loss of balance and a serious fall hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the bindings and contact Mervin Manufacturing for instructions for receiving free replacement straps.
