1. Recall Summary
Petzl America, Inc., of Salt Lake City, Utah, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced a recall of approximately 22,000 units of three models of climbing harnesses. An additional 5,800 units were sold in Canada. The recall involves the Petzl GYM, PANDION, and PANJI climbing harnesses. The recall notice was published on September 12, 2024, under CPSC Recall Number 24358. The recall was initiated due to a fall hazard associated with the harnesses.

2. Affected Products
The recall includes the following specific models and serial numbers. Serial numbers are printed on a label inside the harness.

– GYM Harness (Model No. C032AA00): Serial numbers 18319xxxxxx through 19264xxxxxx, and 19Jxxxxxxxxxx through 24Axxxxxxxxxx.
– PANDION Harness (Model No. C029AA00): Serial numbers 18321xxxxxx through 19264xxxxxx, and 19Jxxxxxxxxxx through 24Axxxxxxxxxx.
– PANDION Harness (Model No. C029AA01): Serial numbers 1827xxxxxx through 19262xxxxxx, and 19Jxxxxxxxxxx through 23Axxxxxxxxxx.
– PANJI Harness (Model No. C028AA00): Serial numbers 18326xxxxxx through 19253xxxxxx, and 19Jxxxxxxxxxx and 23Jxxxxxxxxxx.

The recalled harnesses were sold at outdoor equipment stores including KarstSports, PeakTrading, Backcountry, OmniProGear, and Moosejaw, as well as online. They were sold from January 2019 through May 2024, with a retail price between $59.95 and $69.95. The harnesses were manufactured in Malaysia. The intended users include operators of climbing gyms, adventure parks, guide companies, and individual consumers.

3. Hazard Information
The hazard associated with the recalled harnesses is that the harness can be put on backwards. When worn incorrectly, the rope or carabiner can be attached to a non-weight-bearing leg loop elastic band. This configuration places the user at risk of falling from height and sustaining serious injury, including paraplegia or death. The source data reports one incident in the United States where a user suffered serious injuries from a fall.

4. Consumer Action Required
Consumers and operators of climbing gyms, adventure parks, search and rescue operations, and adventure guide companies should immediately stop using the recalled harnesses. Users must contact Petzl America to arrange for a free repair. No other action is specified in the recall notice.

5. Official Remedy
The official remedy offered by Petzl America is a free repair for each recalled harness. The remedy option is listed as “Repair.” No information regarding refunds or replacements is provided in the source data.
