Summary

Omega Pacific has recalled approximately 1,900 G-FIRST series aluminum carabiners because they can break during use, potentially causing a serious fall. These carabiners are used to connect ropes and harnesses for climbing and rescue operations. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using these products. They were sold in silver, black, and red colors between February and October 2017. Owners can contact the company for a free replacement or a full refund.

Risk

The structural integrity of the carabiner may be compromised, causing it to fail or break while supporting a load. This poses a significant risk of injury or death to users relying on the device for safety while climbing or performing rescue tasks.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the Omega Pacific G-FIRST series aluminum carabiners.
  2. Check the front of the carabiner for the text 'Omega-17 UL Classified USA'.
  3. Check the back of the carabiner for the statement 'Meets NFPA 1983 17ED MBS kN 40 G'.
  4. Look at the bottom side of the carabiner spine to identify the 2-digit lot code 'OD'.
  5. If your carabiner matches these identifiers, contact Omega Pacific at 800-360-3990 between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or email info@omegapac.com to receive a free replacement or a full refund.
