Armada, Atomic, and Salomon Ski Bindings Recalled for Fall Hazard

Amer Sports Winter & Outdoor Company recalls certain Armada, Atomic, and Salomon ski touring bindings sold from May 2022 through September 2023 because the toe component can fail, causing the ski boot to disconnect and posing fall and injury risks.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm product where the hazard (binding failure causing disconnection and falls) is clearly stated, but no injuries have been reported. Two incidents of binding failure have been reported with no resulting injuries, placing this at the High (3) level per the rubric criterion for "risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported."

Plain-English summary

Amer Sports Winter & Outdoor Company, of Ogden, Utah, is recalling about 4,250 Armada, Atomic, and Salomon brand ski touring bindings sold nationwide and online at www.armadaskis.com, www.atomic.com, and www.salomon.com from May 2022 through September 2023 for between $550 and $600 when sold separately.

The toe component of the recalled ski bindings can fail, causing the ski boot to disconnect from the ski. This poses a risk of falls and injuries to users. The company has received two reports of incidents of the front binding failing, though no injuries have been reported.

Only ski bindings with gray springs in their toe component are included in the recall. Affected models are: Armada TRACER SUMMIT 9 BR Black and TRACER TOUR Black; Atomic BACKLAND PURE Black/Gunmetal, BACKLAND SUMMIT 12 BR, BACKLAND SUMMIT 12 LSH, BACKLAND SUMMIT 5 BR, BACKLAND SUMMIT 9 BR, BACKLAND SUMMIT 9 LSH, and BACKLAND TOUR Black/Gunmetal; and Salomon MTN PURE Black/Titan, MTN SUMMIT 12 BR Orange/Burnt, MTN SUMMIT 12 LSH Orange, MTN SUMMIT 5 BR Gold, MTN SUMMIT 9 BR Titan, and MTN TOUR Black/Titan. Specific serial numbers are included in the recall: 22P00000 to 22P10531; 22P92954 to 22P99999; 23P10531 to 23P10886; and 230600000 to 230769999.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ski bindings and return them to any authorized Armada, Atomic, or Salomon dealer for a free inspection and free replacement of the toe portion if included in the recall. The serial number is only visible during disassembly and authorized dealers will verify recall status.
