L.L. Bean Recalls Snowshoes Due to Fall Hazard (Recall Alert)

Agency Publication Date: March 7, 2017

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

L.L. Bean is recalling approximately 3,000 pairs of Adventure Adjustable Snowshoes and Snowshoe Packages. The plastic material on the snowshoe decks can weaken and break during use, which can lead to a fall. There have been four reports of the plastic cracking, though no injuries have been reported. These snowshoes were sold in Carbon Chili (red) and Glacier/Teal (blue) at L.L. Bean stores and online from November 2016 through February 2017.

Risk

The polyethylene deck material can suddenly crack or shatter while in use. This causes the user to lose stability and traction, posing a significant risk of falling on icy or uneven terrain.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled L.L. Bean Adventure Adjustable Snowshoes.
  2. Check the side of your snowshoes for the printed text 'ADVENTURE ADJ 25-30' and verify the 'L.L. Bean' logo is on the front to confirm your product is affected.
  3. Identify the color of your snowshoes; the recall includes both 'Carbon Chili' (red) and 'Glacier/Teal' (blue) models.
  4. Contact L.L. Bean at 800-555-9717 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET daily, or visit www.llbean.com and click on 'Recall and Safety Info' at the bottom of the page to arrange for a full refund.
