Petzl is recalling its SARKEN crampons, because the front points of the
crampons are susceptible to premature wear out following heavy use. The
crampon can experience cracking of the metal forefoot near the front
points, followed by possible breakage if use continues. Petzl has
stopped sales and production of these crampons and is recalling all
SARKEN crampon models, because the potential lifetime of the crampons
should be longer than user experience has demonstrated.
RECALL: Petzl Crampons
Petzl is recalling its SARKEN crampons, because the front points of the crampons are susceptible to premature wearout following heavy use. This means cracking of the metal forefoot near the front point(s), followed by possible breakage if usage continues. Petzl has stopped sales and production of these crampons and is recalling all SARKEN crampon models because we feel that the potential lifetime of the crampons should be longer than user experience has demonstrated.
