Mammut Sports Group is recalling about 5,580 Alugator Ride 3.0 Hoe and Alugator Ride SE avalanche shovels. These silver or black aluminum shovels with orange handles were sold individually or as part of Barryvox emergency rescue packages between December 2022 and February 2023. The spring locking mechanism that connects the shovel head to the shaft can fail during use, and while no injuries have been reported, consumers are urged to stop using them and inspect the locking mechanism immediately.
The spring locking mechanism on these shovels can fail during emergency excavation of a person buried by an avalanche. If the shovel fails during a rescue, it could delay the excavation, posing a significant risk of injury or death to the buried individual.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled avalanche shovels and follow the instructions at https://mammut.prezly.com/recall-notice-for-a-call-for-inspection-shovel-locking-mechanism to inspect the connection between the shaft and the shovel head to make sure it properly locks into position. If the connection does not lock into position, consumers should contact Mammut to obtain a prepaid return shipping label to return the shovel for a free repair or a free replacement shovel.
