What the record says
- Product
- This recall involves Black Diamond Recon LT avalanche transceivers. The transceivers are plastic with an LCD screen. They have a gray exterior and a blue top. The Black Diamond logo and model name "RECON LT" are on the front of the transceivers. The recalled transceivers were sold as standalone units and as part of Black Diamond Alpine Avy Safety Sets and Black Diamond Recon LT Avy Safety Sets.
- Reason
- The metal contact in the switch mechanism of the Recon LT avalanche transceiver can corrode and cause the transceiver to malfunction. If this occurs, the device can turn off and make it impossible to locate a victim in an avalanche, which could result in serious injury or death.
