Sierra Trading Post has recalled about 1,280 Joss rock climbing cam units because they can fail unexpectedly after being set. These mechanical devices, used by climbers to support their weight in rock cracks, were sold in eight different sizes and are marked with the "Cassin" logo. While no injuries have been reported in the U.S., one incident occurred in Europe, leading to this safety recall. Consumers should immediately stop using these cams and return them to Sierra Trading Post for a full refund, which includes shipping costs.
The cams can fail to remain secure after being placed in a rock crack, which poses a serious fall hazard to climbers who are relying on the device for weight support. One failure incident has already been reported in Europe.
Consumers should stop using the product and return it to Sierra Trading Post for a full refund including shipping.
