- What to do
- Petzl recommends that you send your harness to Petzl After Sales Service for replacement of the current leg loop elastic band with a new design.
Petzl has issued a safety notice regarding their GYM, PANDION, and PANJI harnesses due to a potential risk of injury. The issue arises when the harness is put on backwards, which can lead to the rope or carabiner being attached to a non-weightbearing leg loop elastic band. This configuration poses a significant risk of falling from height, which could result in serious injuries to the user.
The affected harnesses include specific models and serial number ranges. Approximately 812 units are reported to be affected in the Republic of Ireland, with 582 units of the GYM model, 158 units of the PANDION model, and 72 units of the PANJI model. Petzl encourages users to check their harnesses against the safety notice to determine if they are impacted.
While it is not mandatory to replace the elastic bands, Petzl recommends that users send their harnesses to the Petzl After Sales Service for a free replacement of the current leg loop elastic band with a new design. Consumers can contact Petzl's After-Sales service for assistance, and the company will cover all shipping costs associated with the replacement.
