Approximately 220 Trango Raptor ice tools used for mountain climbing are being recalled because the head of the tool can detach from the shaft while in use. There have been two reports of the head detaching, although no injuries have been reported yet. These tools, which feature a curved blue and black shaft, were sold nationwide and online between October 2015 and February 2016. Owners of these tools should stop using them immediately and contact GTHI for a full refund or a replacement tool.
The head of the ice tool can separate from the shaft, which can cause a climber to lose their grip or anchor point on the ice, leading to a serious fall hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ice tools and contact GTHI for a full refund or replacement. Owners of the recalled tools have been contacted directly.
