1.) Swamp Fox - 02/19/2016

Came across this last night.

Black Diamond has put out a recall notice on a limited number of carabiners and loop runners. Check your gear.



This recall concerns carabiners/quickdraws with manufacturing codes between 4350 and 6018, manufactured between December 2014 and January 2016.

Full carabiner notice with video and graphics for inspection procedure:

Runner recall involves 18mm Nylon Runners 60cm/24in (Style Number 380060) and 18mm Nylon Runners 120cm/48in (Style Number 380061) because of a possibility that the Nylon Runner is not load-bearing and will fail under standard use.

This recall concerns nylon runners with a manufacturing code of 2014 or 2015, which is found on the sewn in label.

This recall is due to a small number of Nylon Runners found to contain a tape splice, resulting in a product that is not load-bearing and will fail under standard use.

"Not load-bearing" in the case of the runners is being mighty generous. :jd: How these could get out the door of the factory boggles my mind. I'd guess the tape splice is intended to indicate a flaw, but I can't imagine how this flaw gets in the same box with good product. Here's what we're talking about:

Maybe they were listening to this when they should have been working.

Not even duct tape. What kind of nonsense is that?
