CPSC, Trak Inc. Announce Recall of Snowshoe Bindings
Fall
The hazard
Screws and other hardware used to keep the bindings intact are too short, causing the binding to separate from the shoe. This poses a fall hazard to consumers.
Incidents reported: CPSC and Trak Inc. are not aware of any injuries involving these bindings. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop using these snowshoes and return them to the store where purchased for a free repair kit.
Contact: For more information, consumers can contact Trak Inc. toll-free at (888) 288-2668 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.karhu.com
