These Black Diamond harnesses degrade over time, fail to support climbers, and create serious injuries or death.


About 1,580 harnesses were sold in the US and 130 were sold in Canada at Liberty Mountain, REI, and at other specialty outdoor stores nationwide as well as online at blackdiamondequipment.com, backcountry.com, and evo.com from January 2018 through February 2025.


Stop using these recalled harnesses and contact Black Diamond at 1-866-306-0865 Or via the email [email protected] for a full refund in the form of a credit card reimbursement or a one-time-use $200 store credit for purchases at Black Diamond stores or online. The company will provide a pre-paid shipping label for returns.
