Hazard
The products present a risk of entrapment and injuries as it has been identified that a malfunction can occur due to an assembly issue. The main switch on the affected devices may be misaligned, leading to unintentional switching from send to search mode with lateral pressure, or possibly even turning the device off completely. This malfunction can therefore result in no additional aid in the search and rescue process in the case of an avalanche.
Corrective action
The products have been recalled from end users.
Owners of the affected products should contact Mammut for a repair / replacement by filling in the return form on the Mammut website.
Further details on the recall and the return process can be found on the Mammut website. You can also call the Mammut customer service team on +44 161 884 1200.
