What makes a good camping tent and what do you have to watch out for in a trekking tent

Black Diamond, Inc - on behalf of its subsidiary brands, Black Diamond, PIEPS and POC - is issuing a voluntary recall for all JetForce avalanche airbags in order to carry out a required firmware update.

Salt Lake City, Utah (April 13, 2016) - Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily issuing a recall, subject to user inspection, of Easy Rider and Iron Cruiser Via Ferrata Lanyard sets because of the possibility of defects in the stitching that could cause the lanyard to fail, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

The reason for the replacement is that a particular batch manufactured during the noted timeline does not meet Black Diamond’s product standards due to a glue-to-plush bond issue causing accelerated glue failure during use. Black Diamond will replace all affected skins, either with a replacement of the Ascension Nylon Climbing Skins or a substitution with its GlideLite Mohair Mix Climbing Skins, and is asking its customers to check the skins date code to see if it matches the affected models.

Black Diamond Equipment, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, is voluntarily recalling its PIEPS and Black Diamond branded avalanche transceivers. Affected models include the PIEPS Pro BT, Powder BT, DSP Sport, DSP Pro, DSP Pro Ice, Micro Button BT, Micro BT Sensor and Micro BT Race avalanche transceivers and the Black Diamond branded Recon BT and Guide BT avalanche transceivers.

March 23, 2023/April 27, 2024 -- In cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. is voluntarily recalling the Recon LT avalanche transceiver to carry out a required firmware update.
