Salewa North America Inc. of Boulder, CO has recalled about 70 Wild Country Syncro climbing harnesses sold in the United States because excess materials on the left waist belt tab can cause the harness to loosen, posing a fall hazard to the user.
The firm has received one report of the harness loosening. Though no injuries have been reported, Salewa is instructing consumers to immediately stop using the recalled harnesses and contact Salewa North America for a full refund.
The recalled harness has a black nylon exterior and orange interior. “Wild Country” and “Syncro” is printed on a label affixed to the interior, above batch code: 01 A 01 16.
They were sold by Alpenglow Adventure Sports, Climb UP LLC, Rock Fitness, UNLTD, and Wilderness Exchange stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com and other websites from April 2016 through June 2016 for about $110.
