On May 14, 2026, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning to consumers to immediately cease using the climbing harnesses.
According to the CPSC, D-ring located on the front of the harness can release while in use, allowing the attachment point to open. This poses a serious risk of injury or death from a fall hazard.
