Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

O'Brien Watersports has recalled about 3,560 Performer Pro Combo water skis because the skis can unexpectedly detach from the bindings during a fall. This defect can cause the ski to break, which has already resulted in three reports of leg injuries during slalom skiing. The affected skis were sold in various color combinations at Overton's, other sporting goods stores, and Amazon.com between January 2011 and April 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these skis and contact the company for a full refund or store credit.

Risk

The binding can pull away from the ski or the ski can detach during a fall, causing the ski to snap and potentially strike the user. There have been three reported incidents of leg injuries occurring during slalom skiing maneuvers.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Performer Pro Combo water skis.
  2. Identify your skis by checking for the 'X9' or 'Avid' binding names printed directly on the bindings and ensuring the ski has an aluminum fin.
  3. Check the item number and color: 2111112 (black/gold), 2121100 (red/white/yellow), 2141102 (blue/green), 2161102 (black/grey/yellow), or 2181104 (black/grey/yellow).
  4. Verify that your skis are the 'Pro' model; O'Brien Performer Combo Skis with 'X8' bindings and plastic fins are NOT included in this recall.
  5. Contact O'Brien Watersports at 800-662-7436 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday, or online at https://obrien.com (click on 'Recall') to receive a store credit or a full refund.
