Leading climbing brand Black Diamond has launched a recall of some of its popular avalanche beacons due to a corrosion issue that may cause it to malfunction and endanger the lives of backcountry skiers and snowboarders.
The Black Diamond Recon LT transceiver was sold as a standalone unit and as part of two avalanche safety sets – all units are addressed by this recall. According to an announcement on the Utah brand's website, the metal contact of the Recon LT’s switch mechanism may corrode.
