Equipment recall: Black Diamond Equipment Recon LT Avalanche Transceiver

Black Diamond Equipment has issued a product safety recall for the Recon LT Avalanche Transceiver.

Black Diamond Equipment®, in conjunction with the European General Product Safety Regulation, is recalling the Black Diamond Recon LT avalanche transceiver and related avalanche safety sets due to a corrosion issue that may cause it to malfunction. Recon LT owners can have their transceiver repaired, exchanged for a different model, or refunded.

In some cases, the metal contact of the Recon LT’s switch mechanism may corrode.

Consumers who own the Black Diamond Recon LT should immediately stop using it and follow the recall procedures.
