Petzl has issued a RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT FOR ALL GRIGRI 2 assisted braking belay devices (D14 2O, D14 2G, D14 2B) from serial number 10326 through 11136, sold after January 1, 2011. Petzl has discovered that exerting excessive force on the fully extended handle of the GRIGRI 2 can cause internal damage, such that the GRIGRI 2 handle may become stuck in the open position.
While Petzl has no knowledge of any accidents resulting from a damaged GRIGRI 2 handle, owners of the damaged GRIGRI 2 should contact Petzl American to initiate an exchange by emailing grigri2recall@petzl.com or calling 800.932.2978.
Petzl has issued a product recall for any SCORPIO landyards with serial numbers starting with 11137*** with relevant product references: L60, L60 CK, L60 2, L60 2 CK, L60 H, L60 WL, K29VF 1, K29VF 2, K29VE 1, K29VE 2, K29V 1, K29V 2. Petzl's internal investigation and analysis of their manufacturing procedures specific to the production of tear-webbing energy absorbers has identified a weakness that could explain the defect leading to this accident. Petzle is urging purchasers of the SCORPIO to return them to Petzl America for inspection. Petzl will pay for shipping in each direction for this return.

Petzl has issued a product advisory for their fall 2010 versions of the NOMIC and ERGO ice tools with serial numbers between 10208 and 10329 and all GRIPREST (U21 GR2) accessory parts. When an inward force is applied to the GRIPREST, damage may occur to the adjustment teeth at the base of the tool’s handle that mesh with the GRIPREST. Once this damage occurs, users may lose the ability to fix the GRIPREST in the desired size position. This is not a safety issue, as it only affects the GRIPREST adjustability and the ability to remain in the desired position. This is covered by Petzl’s warranty. Anyone with a damaged NOMIC or ERGO ice tool or who has concerns about the durability of the GRIPREST adjustment system, is encouraged to contact the store from which they were purchased for further information.

Product advisory for Black Diamond Xenos Harnesses.
Black Diamond has issued a notice that some Xenos Harnesses are not meeting internal quality requirements as they pertain to the Ice Clipper slots. Some slots are becoming unstitched during use.
