Product description
Two models of avalanche transceiver sold individually and as part of an avalanche safety set. An avalanche transceiver is a lifesaving instrument used to locate individuals buried in avalanches. It transmits and receives signals to quickly and accurately determine the position of those buried.
Hazard
The product presents a risk of entrapment and injuries as the AAA batteries can be jarred or impacted out of alignment with the electrical contacts. If this occurs, the device may turn off unexpectedly, which could result in the user being trapped in an avalanche with no capacity to activate the transceiver for rescue.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
Corrective action
The product has been recalled from end users.
Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately and to contact the distributor for a repair or full refund. Further information on the recall is available here: https://www.pieps.com/en/2024-pieps-pro-ips-recall/
