According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the screws that connect the plastic heel cup to the aluminum heel unit of the crampon can loosen and allow the heel cup to detach from the crampon, posing a fall hazard. The June 13, 2024, recall involves about 350 climbing crampons.
The Neve Strap Crampons and Accessory Kits, Style No. 400073, have the following date codes: 01-2021, 05-2022, 07-2023, 01-2024, and SS1271. The date codes are found on the rubber heel strap and on the underside of the toe piece. The crampons are made of aluminum with spikes that attach to boots for ice climbing. The bright green climbing device has a black webbing strap that fastens around the ankle.
The recall also includes the Neve Strap Binding Accessory Kit, Style No. 400683, and Neve Strap Heel Cup Screw & Nuts, Style No. 400687, which were sold separately. The CPSC warns consumers to stop using the crampons and accessory kits. There have been three reports of incidents of the crampons becoming loose or detached.
The crampons were sold at Black Diamond stores, REI, and other climbing stores nationwide. The devices were also sold online at blackdiamond.com, backcountry.com, and REI.com from January 2024 through May 2024 for about $180.
