Product Recalls

Product safety is an important part of responsible equipment management, particularly for climbing, skiing, mountaineering, and other activities where reliable performance is essential. Recall notices and safety communications are issued when a product, component, or production batch requires additional inspection, replacement, modification, or other corrective action. Customers are encouraged to review the available notices carefully and determine whether equipment they own may be affected.

The recall archive contains safety information covering a wide range of products and dates. More recent notices include the Vision Harness recall issued in February 2025 and the Recon LT Beacon recall announced earlier that same month. These notices provide information for customers who may own affected equipment and should be reviewed when determining whether a product requires attention.

During 2024, safety communications included the PIEPS Pro IPS notice from November and the Neve Strap Crampons notice from May. These records are retained as part of the historical product safety information and provide reference material for customers checking equipment purchased or used during the applicable periods.

A Recon LT Beacon recall was also issued in 2023. Customers who own equipment associated with that notice should consult the corresponding safety information to determine whether their product is included and what action may be required. Earlier beacon-related safety information is also available from 2022.

The 2021 archive includes the voluntary replacement program for Ascension Climbing Skins as well as the PIEPS DSP recall. These notices demonstrate the importance of checking older equipment and maintaining awareness of product-specific safety communications, especially when equipment has been stored for extended periods or transferred between users.

Several significant climbing and mountaineering product notices were issued in 2016. These included safety communications concerning Easy Rider and Iron Cruiser Via Ferratas, Index Ascenders, Camalot and Camalot Ultralight products, carabiners and quickdraws, and nylon runners. Because climbing hardware can play a critical role in load-bearing systems, customers should take historical safety notices seriously and confirm whether older equipment corresponds to an affected product or production group.

The archive also includes a JetForce recall from 2015 and a Whippet recall from 2014. These notices remain part of the historical safety record and may be particularly relevant to customers who continue to own older equipment. Product age alone should not be used as a substitute for reviewing applicable safety information, particularly when a specific recall or replacement notice exists.

Older records extend back to 2010 and earlier. The 2010 archive includes an AvaLung Pack recall, while the 2007 records contain a recommended replacement notice concerning Fritschi Diamir Axion-82 and Axion-82 Long AT Crampons. A Speed Harness product safety bulletin was issued in 2006, followed by a SCARPA T2X notice in 2005 and a Soliras Lithium Ion Battery recall in 2004.

The 2003 archive contains several separate product safety communications, including an O2/O3 binding cartridge update, a Bionic Crampon recall, and an O2 binding recall. These records demonstrate that product safety information may address different types of corrective action, including inspections, component updates, replacements, or full recalls.

Additional historical notices from 2002 include the Rage Ice Tool recall and a replacement notice concerning the Android Ice Axe leash component. In 2001, a Superlock inspection notice was issued. The 2000 archive contains a Sky Lounge recall notice, providing further historical information for customers researching older equipment.

The historical record continues into the 1990s. A Carbon Fiber Black Prophet Ice Tool recall notice was issued in 1997, followed by a notice in 1996 concerning selected batches of Black Diamond Black Prophet bent-shaft ice tools. Customers who possess older technical equipment should take extra care when identifying product names, configurations, and manufacturing information, since similar product names may have been used across different production periods.

When reviewing a recall notice, customers should compare the product they own with the information contained in the applicable safety communication rather than assuming that every item with a similar name is affected. Product identification details, model information, production characteristics, and the specific scope of a notice may determine whether corrective action applies. If a product appears to correspond to an affected item, customers should follow the instructions provided in the relevant safety notice before returning the equipment to normal use.

Safety notices can involve different forms of action. Depending on the specific situation, the appropriate response may involve an inspection, replacement, repair, modification, voluntary product exchange, or discontinuation of use. The archive itself records the existence and date of individual notices, while the associated notice provides the product-specific instructions and applicable corrective measures.

Customers should avoid relying solely on appearance or general product condition when a known safety notice may apply. Technical outdoor equipment can experience stresses that are not always visible, and historical products may have been exposed to use, storage conditions, modification, or environmental factors that affect their condition. Reviewing the relevant product safety documentation provides a more appropriate basis for deciding what to do with potentially affected equipment.

This recall archive is intended to make historical safety information easier to locate and review. Notices are organized by year so customers can identify communications according to the approximate period in which they were issued. The archive includes recent notices as well as records dating back several decades, reflecting the long history of product safety monitoring and corrective action.

Customers who are uncertain whether a particular piece of equipment is affected by a safety notice should gather as much product information as possible before seeking assistance. Details such as the product name, model, purchase information, photographs, and identifying markings may help support personnel determine which safety communication is relevant. For additional product or warranty assistance, customers can contact the support team at help@bleckdiamonddequipments.it.com or 1-801-745-5522.

Product recalls and safety notices should always be treated as important equipment information. When a product is identified as subject to a recall, replacement recommendation, inspection notice, or other corrective communication, customers should follow the applicable instructions before continuing to use the equipment. Maintaining awareness of current and historical safety information helps customers make more informed decisions about the condition, maintenance, replacement, and continued use of their outdoor gear.
