CAMP USA of Broomfield, Colo., is recalling about 920 Cassin Blade Runner and Blade Runner Alpine crampons.
The front part, where the points connect to the crampons, can break, posing a fall hazard.
The company has received three reports of these crampons breaking during use. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves all Cassin Blade Runner and Blade Runner Alpine crampons. Crampons are used for ice climbing and attach to footwear allowing the front points of the crampon to cut into the snow or ice. The Blade Runner crampons have two ice front points and the Blade Runner Alpine crampons have two snow front points.
“Sandvik Nanoflex” is printed on a rubber label attached to the gray nylon ankle strap. “Cassin” and “Blade Runner” are stamped on the orange traction plate on the foot of the crampon. The crampon frames are made of Chromoly and Nanoflex steel.
The crampons, manufactured in Italy, were sold at specialty outdoor retailers nationwide and online at backcountry.com, camp-usa.com and mountaingear.com from June 2013, to June 2015, for about $350.
