In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission and Canada, Arva has recalled (Recall No. 25-164) the BT Pro Avalanche Transceiver. A fuse within the avalanche transceiver could be defective and cause power to drain from the battery, posing a risk of loss of emergency communication, which could result in serious injury or death.
The company sold roughly 1,067, with no incidents or injuries reported.
This recall involves Arva Neo BT Pro Avalanche Transceivers. The transceivers are black plastic with an LCD screen below a red mark button. “NEO BT PRO” appears on the left side of the device. The affected beacons have serial numbers NBP00052-1027 to NBP00287-1127 and NB00300-1127 to NB11675-0329. The serial number is inside the battery compartment on the underside of the battery compartment lid.
