KLIM is recalling about 3,930 Backcountry Probes model A300 because they can fail to lock into place when used during an emergency. These probes are essential tools for finding individuals buried in snow after an avalanche; if they fail to operate, it could lead to severe injury or death. The affected probes feature the KLIM logo and were sold at KLIM and Polaris dealers and online from October 2022 through November 2022 for about $80. Consumers should immediately stop using these probes and contact the company for a full refund and free return shipping.
The probes can fail to lock correctly when deployed by rescuers, preventing them from locating someone buried under snow. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, this defect poses a life-threatening risk to anyone trapped in an avalanche.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled probes and contact KLIM by email at orders@KLIM.com and enter "A300 Probe Recall" in the subject line to receive a full refund. KLIM will send consumers free shipping material and a pre-paid shipping label to return the probes. KLIM is contacting all purchasers directly.
The product lot number is located near the tip of the probes. The KLIM logo is printed on the probes.
