Safety lanyards
Product: About 375,000 Scorpio and Absorbica shock
absorbing lanyards imported by Petzl America Inc., of Clearfield, Utah,

Problem: Some lanyards are missing a safety stitch on the attachment loop,
which can cause the lanyard to disconnect from the climbing harness -- posing a
fall hazard to consumers. On fall injury has been reported in France.
Scope:
The items were sold at authorized Petzl dealers nationwide and in Canada from
January 2002 through May 2011.
Details: 877-740-3826, www.petzl.com
