SCARPA F1 Ski Boots Recalled for Fall Hazard

SCARPA North America is recalling about 770 F1 LT and F1 GT ski boots manufactured in 2022. Screws attaching the ski/walk mechanism can loosen or fall out, causing the mechanism to malfunction and posing a fall hazard.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a potential fall risk from a mechanical malfunction rather than a confirmed safety defect with documented harm. This is a precautionary recall addressing a theoretical risk of injury.

Plain-English summary

SCARPA North America Inc. of Boulder, Colorado is recalling the F1 LT and F1 GT men's and women's ski boots manufactured in 2022. The recalled boots were sold in black/orange/aqua and blue/orange/aqua color combinations from August 2022 through December 2022 for approximately $900.

The two screws on each boot that attach the ski/walk mechanism to the cuff can loosen or fall out, causing the mechanism to malfunction and posing a fall hazard and risk of injury to the consumer. No injuries have been reported.

The boots were sold at Cripple Creek Backcountry, REI, Ski The Whites, Skimo Co, Ute Mountaineers and other sporting goods stores and authorized SCARPA dealers nationwide, as well as online at www.backcountry.com and https://us.scarpa.com.
