LOOK Pivot Ski Bindings Recalled Due to Heel Piece Fall Hazard

Plain-English summary

Group Rossignol USA Inc. is recalling 2017-2018 model year LOOK Pivot brand ski bindings. The recall involves approximately 6,900 units sold in the United States, with an additional 590 units sold in Canada. The product was sold in black, white, and yellow colors.

The heel piece on the ski binding can come loose, allowing the boot to detach from the ski, which poses a fall hazard to the skier. No injuries have been reported in connection with this defect. The recalled bindings were sold at specialty ski stores, including Christy Sports, REI, Retail Concepts, and Vail Resorts, as well as online at Backcountry.com and Evo.com, from September 2017 through November 2017 for between $375 and $475.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ski bindings and contact LOOK to arrange for a free inspection and replacement. LOOK is written on the front of the binding and Pivot is written on the side of the heel piece. Only date codes of H7, I7, or J7, without the letter "V" stamped on the black plastic piece behind the turntable heel unit, are included in the recall. Date codes can be found on the bottom of the heel piece by rotating the turntable heel unit 90 degrees.
