Massachusetts Based Climbing Rope Recalled
Maxim Apogee and Maxim Pinnacle Dynamic climbing lines and ropes were recalled due to a fall hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of the lines and ropes on July 29, 2008, and advises consumers to stop using the lines immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.
The colors of the two-recalled lines are yellow and black, and red and yellow. They were sold in retailers nationwide from August 2006 through June 2008 at an estimated retail price between $180 and $262.
The climbing lines are subject to break, posing a serious fall hazard for climbers of all ages, and were voluntarily recalled by manufacturer New England Ropes of Fall River, Massachusetts.
