Recall of CCH Inc. Mountain Climbing Camming Anchor
On April 18, 2006, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of about 4,100 mountain climbing camming anchors manufactured by Colorado Custom Hardware (CCH) Inc., of Laramie, Wyoming. According to the CPSC, the cables supporting the CCH Inc. camming anchor can fail, causing climbers to fall. The description of the recalled camming anchor is as follows:

Description: These camming anchors or “Alien Cams” are devices used as both a precautionary measure to stop a climber in the event of falls, or it is used to actually support the climber. Climbers insert the device into cracks or crevasses in rock and it grips the sides of the crack. The recalled units are marked with a small center punch dimple at the base of the round ball where the axle goes through the cable eye. They have production dates, from November 2004 (written as 1104) through December 2005 (written as 1205), which can be found on the bottom of the handle puller.

CCH Inc. has received a report of one failure that lead to an injury. The recall announcement urges consumers to stop using the CCH Inc. mountain climbing camming anchor immediately. For the full CPSC news release regarding the recall of the CCH Inc. mountain climbing camming anchor, click here.
