Speed Buckle Harnesses Used During Mountain and Rock Climbing Recalled for Fall Hazard
Rock climbing and mountaineering specialty shops nationwide from December 2005 through July 2006 for between $40 and $75.
The harness could be threaded incorrectly. If threaded incorrectly, the webbing will easily slip when loaded. Incorrectly threaded buckles can loosen, which could cause climbers to slip out of the harness and fall.
These Speed Buckle Harnesses were sold under the following model names: Gym Speed, Focus Speed, Momentum Speed, Vario Speed and Wiz Kid. The names can be found on a tag sewn inside the waist belt of the harnesses. The harnesses are various colors and were sold individually.
