CAMP USA of Broomfield, Colo., is recalling about 519 Tour Nanotech Automatic and Semi-Automatic crampons.
The heel bail which connects the ankle strap to the crampon can detach from the crampon, posing a fall hazard.
The company has received one report of the heel bail detaching during use. No injuries have been reported.
This recall affects all Tour Nanotech Automatic and Semi-Automatic crampons. Both crampons are made of steel plates that attach to boots for ice climbing.
The Tour Nanotech Automatic has a red heel bail with a gray strap that fastens around the ankle. The Tour Nanotech Semi-Automatic has a red toe strap at the front of the crampon and a red heel bail at the back. A gray strap is connected to both heel bails and fastens around the boot.
The crampons, manufactured in Italy, were sold at specialty outdoor retailers and online at backcountry.com, camp-usa.com and mountaingear.com from June 2013, to June 2015, for about $220.
