RECALL NOTICE: 2010 Black Diamond AvaLung Packs

We have recently discovered that the intake tubing on certain 2010 AvaLung Packs may crack under extremely cold temperatures. This recall is limited to a specific manufacturing run of packs, which can be identified by a PO# and model combination presented here: www.BlackDiamondEquipment.com/AvaLungRecall. Any AvaLung Pack that falls within this criteria is part of the recall, potentially defective and contains an AvaLung unit that should be immediately returned to Black Diamond for inspection and possible replacement (anticipated replacement time is March 2011).

Please know that our greatest concern is the safety of our friends, ski partners and customers. We are working diligently to ensure that every recalled AvaLung unit/pack is inspected, replaced and returned to you as quickly as possible.

If you purchased an AvaLung-equipped pack in 2010, immediately discontinue use until you can confirm whether it is possibly affected by visiting www.BlackDiamondEquipment.com/AvaLungRecall.

For help identifying the potentially affected packs, for return instructions and/or questions on the status of your replacement, please contact Black Diamond at +41 61 564 33 33 or email recall@blackdiamond.eu
