Reference: 2304-0051
Product: N/A
Hazard: The spring locking mechanism on the shovels can fail in an emergency excavation of a person buried by an avalanche. This is due to the pin joint that connects the shovel shaft to the shovel blade not being positioned correctly in every case, which can cause the shovel blade to detach from the shaft. This therefore poses a risk of injury or death for the buried person.
Corrective Action: Recall of the product from end users. For further information, please access the Mammut recall site here: https://mammut.prezly.com/recall-notice-for-a-call-for-inspection-shovel-locking-mechanism
