Plain-English summary

Arc'teryx Equipment is recalling approximately 3,900 Procline ski mountaineering boots sold in the United States, with an additional 500 sold in Canada. The recall includes Procline carbon support, Procline carbon lite, Procline support, and Procline lite boots in men's and women's sizes. The boots were sold at ski and outdoor specialty stores, including Moosejaw and REI, and online from April 2016 through March 2017 for between $750 and $1,000.

The recall is due to a defect where the axis pin located at the rear of the boot can dislodge. This dislodgement can result in damage to the boot and poses a fall hazard to the user. The company has received 18 reports of the axis pin dislodging, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled boots and return them to an authorized Arc'teryx dealer for a free repair. The boots are identifiable by the "Arc'teryx" logo on the front and lack a colored dot on the inside of the spoiler at the rear of the boot.
