Plain-English summary

Liberty Mountain, of Salt Lake City, Utah, is recalling approximately 140 Singing Rock Easy Go XP Lock Via Ferrata Lanyards. These products are used for shock absorption on Via Ferrata mountain climbing routes and feature two elasticized webbing branches with self-locking carabiners at each end. The recalled units can be identified by the elasticized webbing and a white tag sewn into the zipper pouch that reads "EASY GO XP LOCK."

The recall was issued because the elastic webbing on the lanyards can deteriorate over time and break while in use. This failure poses a risk of serious injury or death to the climber. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The lanyards were sold at specialty climbing shops nationwide and online at Amazon.com and other internet retailers between April 2011 and August 2012 for about $120.
