The CPSC and KLIM now recall KLIM Backcountry Probes A300. These probes fail to operate properly when deployed by rescue teams attempting to recover victims buried under snow following an avalanche leading to severe injury or death of the trapped victims. About 3,930 of these probes were sold in the US and 400 were sold in Canada at KLIM and Polaris dealers nationwide. Immediately stop using these recalled probes and contact KLIM by email at [email protected] and enter “A300 Probe Recall” in the subject line to receive a full refund.  KLIM will send you free shipping material and a pre-paid shipping label to return the probes. For additional information, contact KLIM at 1-844-325-1667.
