Plain-English summary

Rossignol Ski Co. is recalling approximately 3,500 pairs of 2007 model year Rossignol HC snowboard bindings. The recall involves specific models including the HC 750, HC 1000, HC 2000, HC 3000, HC Mini, HC Amber, HC Diva, HC Harmony, HC Sonar, HC Zena, and Jones Brown. These bindings were sold at snowboard, ski, and sporting goods stores nationwide from August 2007 through May 2008 for between $100 and $150.

The recall is being issued because the t-nuts that attach the buckles to the straps on the snowboard bindings can detach. This defect poses a fall hazard to consumers. The company has not reported any injuries associated with this defect.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bindings. They should take the bindings to a Rossignol snowboard retailer for inspection and free replacement t-nuts, or contact Rossignol to have a repair kit mailed to them. T-nuts marked in red-ink or with an embossed dot have already been repaired.
