CPSC, Trak Inc. Announce Recall of Snowshoe Bindings
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Trak Inc., doing business as Karhu Inc., of
Burlington, Vt., is voluntarily recalling about 420 snowshoe bindings.
Screws and other hardware used to keep the bindings intact are too
short, causing the binding to separate from the shoe. This poses a fall
hazard to consumers.
CPSC and Trak Inc. are not aware of any injuries involving these
bindings. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of
injury.
This recall involves bindings sold on the "Karhu Meta Sweeper" and
"Karhu Morph Sweeper" snowshoes. The orange, hybrid snowshoe Meta is 120
cm and has blue universal bindings. The blue Morph Sweeper is 130 cm
with blue universal bindings. The snowshoes are high back, with a front
toe strap and a pivot point.
Skiboards.com web site, LL Bean, Cabela's, Erehwon Mountain
Outfitters, and Vail Bicycle stores sold these snowshoes nationwide
during November 2002 for about $250.
Consumers should immediately stop using these snowshoes and return
them to the store where purchased for a free repair kit. For more
information, consumers can contact Trak Inc. toll-free at (888) 288-2668
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's
web site at www.karhu.com
