Plain-English summary
O'Brien Watersports is recalling approximately 3,560 Performer Pro Combo water skis sold in the United States, with an additional 700 units sold in Canada. The recall involves skis equipped with O'Brien's X9 or Avid bindings and an aluminum fin. The Performer Combo Skis equipped with a plastic fin and O'Brien's "X8" binding are not affected by this recall.
The recall is due to an injury hazard where the skis can detach from the binding during a fall. This detachment allows the ski to break, posing a risk of injury to the user. O'Brien Watersports has received three reports of leg injuries resulting from skis breaking or bindings pulling off during falls while slalom skiing.
The affected skis were sold at Overton's and other watersports and sporting goods stores nationwide, as well as online at Amazon.com, from January 2011 to April 2018 for approximately $300. Consumers should immediately stop using the Performer Pro Combo Skis and contact O'Brien Watersports at 800-662-7436 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday, or online at obrien.com to receive a store credit or a full refund.
