More climbing gear recalled for safety reasons

BERN, SWITZERLAND – Just days after Via Ferrata climbing gear was recalled by UK manufacturer Wild Country, the German firm Edelrid is recalling several of its products as a precaution, and telling climbers not to use these Via Ferrara sets because the elastic no longer meets safety standards and may not hold after intensive use:

Manufactured in 2010, 2011 and 2012, all Via Ferrata sets of types Cable Lite, Cable Comfort, Brenta Comfort, Cable Lite 2.0 Cable Comfort 2.0, Cable Kit 4.0 and Cable Kit Xtra-Light Schuster as a precautionary measure from the market.
