Leatherman is recalling approximately 8,000 Leap™ multi-purpose tools designed for children aged nine and up. The locking mechanism on the tool's optional knife blade can fail, allowing the blade to close or release unexpectedly during use. These multi-tools feature plastic casings in green, blue, or red and were sold at Bass Pro Shop, Cabela's, and other retailers nationwide between August and September 2014 for about $54. While no injuries have been reported, Leatherman is offering a free replacement tool to all affected consumers.
The internal lock designed to hold the optional knife blade in place can fail, causing the blade to move or release unexpectedly. This creates a serious risk of deep cuts (lacerations) to the user's hands or fingers during operation.
Consumers should not install the optional knife blade or should immediately stop using the multi-tool with the installed optional knife. Consumers should contact Leatherman for a free replacement multi-tool, including shipping.
