Yesterday, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Black Diamond Equipment voluntarily issued two recalls, subject to user inspection, of select carabiners (including quickdraws) and Nylon Runners.  While there have been no accidents reported involving these products, we need your help in inspecting potentially affected products in your inventory, and in sharing this important information with your customers.

Please immediately inspect any unsold carabiners and Nylon Runners in your inventory using the procedure presented on the website.
