Plain-English summary

CAMP USA Inc. is recalling approximately 500 Tour Nanotech Automatic and Semi-Automatic crampons sold in the United States, plus 19 units sold in Canada. These steel ice climbing crampons attach to boots and feature a heel bail that connects the ankle strap to the crampon. The recall affects all units of both the Automatic and Semi-Automatic models.

The heel bail can detach from the crampon during use, which poses a fall hazard. CAMP USA has received one report of the heel bail detaching, but no injuries have been reported. The products were sold at specialty outdoor retailers and online through backcountry.com, camp-usa.com, and mountaingear.com from June 2013 to June 2015 for about $220.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled crampons and contact CAMP USA for a free pair of replacement crampons. The company can be reached toll-free at 877-421-2267 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or online at www.camp-usa.com under the Safety Notices link.
