O que fazer com isso
What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Courant Spliced Kalimba Climbing Ropes?
Courant Spliced Kalimba Climbing Ropes (Courant, of Angers, France) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The spliced termination ends on the recalled ropes can fail unexpectedly, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fall hazard. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled ropes immediately and contact Wichard Groupe North America for a free replacement rope, including shipping. Consumers will be asked to complete the registration form at https://www.wichardgroupe.us/news/post/recall-spliced-kalimba to receive a pre-paid shipping label and instructions for returning the recalled product. Consumers will be offered one of two free replacement options; one with immediate availability and the other with availability beginning mid-September. Sold at: Vertical Supply Group, Arbsession, RBI Corporation and nationwide retailers from January 2023 through June 2026 for between $250 and $350.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 1,050 units of Courant Spliced Kalimba Climbing Ropes are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
