Plain-English summary

Line Skis, of Seattle, Wash., is recalling about 1,250 units of the 2006 Line X-Fly and Line Pro ski boards. The recall addresses a hazard where screws installed improperly can cause the bindings to come loose or pull off the ski board during use. This failure can cause the skier to lose control or fall and suffer injuries.

The affected products were sold in 90- and 99-centimeter lengths. The Pro model is a twin-tip ski with "Pro 90" or "Pro 98" printed on the tail, while the X-Fly is a unidirectional ski with "Fly 90" or "Fly 99" printed on the tail. These ski boards were sold at ski, snowboard, and sporting goods stores from September 2006 through January 2007 for about $180.

Line Skis has received one report of the screws holding the binding to the ski board pulling out during use, but no injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ski boards and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. If consumers are unable to return the ski boards to the place of purchase, they should contact Line Skis at (800) 987-2576 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT, or visit www.lineskis.com for instructions.
