Petzl is voluntarily recalling the SWAN EASYFIT STEEL harnesses (references C062AA00 (single) and C062AA01 (5-pack) and SWAN EASYFIT STAINLESS harnesses (references C062BA00 (single) and C062BA01 (5-pack) due to a defect in the FAST LT buckle that could lead to a fatal fall. Please immediately stop using the harnesses affected by this recall.
Identified Risk
Petzl have identified a nonconforming batch of FAST LT buckles (see visuals of the buckles above). The harnesses concerned by this recall use these FAST LT buckles, positioned on the back, in order to close the harness. The risk can occur when one or both of the FAST LT buckles break and the harness no longer closes, which places the user at risk of exiting the harness completely, falling from height and sustaining serious injury or death.
Affected Harnesses
Only certain batches of SWAN EASYFIT STEEL (references C062AA00 for single harnesses and C062AA01 for 5-packs ) and SWAN EASYFIT STAINLESS (references C062BA00 for single harnesses and C062BA01 for 5-packs) are subject to this recall.
