WHAT HAPPENED
Petzl Japan has issued a recall for its Canyoning Harness due to a critical safety defect. The screw securing the abdominal D-ring may wear prematurely, causing the pin to detach. This failure could result in the user falling from height, leading to death or serious injury. The recall was announced on the Japan Consumer Affairs Agency recall information site under management number 00000035002.
This recall is significant because canyoning harnesses are life-safety equipment used in high-risk environments. A failure of the D-ring attachment directly compromises the user’s connection to the rope system. The defect has been identified as a manufacturing or design issue with the screw component, and the recall is being conducted in coordination with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
If you own a Petzl Canyoning Harness, take the following steps immediately:
- Stop using the harness and inspect the abdominal D-ring screw for any signs of wear or looseness.
- Contact Petzl Japan using the contact information provided on the recall notice to arrange for a free replacement harness.
- Do not attempt to repair the harness yourself; only an authorized exchange from Petzl will ensure safety.
