Petzl has recalled approximately 23,000 Scorpio Eashook lanyards with aluminum carabiners sold between January 2021 and February 2022. These lanyards, used for via ferrata and adventure parks, were sold nationwide and online for about $180 at retailers like Mountain Gear and Moosejaw. The recall was issued because the carabiner's gate automatic closing system can fail to function correctly, and consumers should stop using them and return them for a full refund.
The automatic closing system on the carabiner's gate can malfunction, which may leave the gate open and prevent the safety lanyard from properly securing the user. This poses a high risk of serious injury or death from a fall, although no incidents have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lanyards and contact Petzl for a full refund, including shipping. Consumers will be provided a postage-paid label to return their recalled lanyard.
