Petzl has extended its May 13 voluntary recall of its Scorpio via ferrata lanyards (L60 and L60CK) from those manufactured until March 2005 to include those sold through May 19, 2011 following its initial analysis of a via ferratta accident in France.
Petzl’s investigation and analysis of manufacturing procedures specific to the production of tear webbing energy absorbers identified a weakness which could explain the defect leading to the cause of this accident.
