What is the hazard with Petzl ASTRO BOD FAST, ASTRO SIT FAST and CANYON GUIDE harnesses?

Petzl ASTRO BOD FAST, ASTRO SIT FAST and CANYON GUIDE harnesses was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The recalled harness' D-ring can release, allowing the attachment point to open, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a fall hazard. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.

What should you do if you own this product?

Consumers, operators and work-at-height professionals should stop using the recalled harnesses immediately and contact Petzl America at Aftersales_US@petzl.com for a free replacement D ring kit. Sold at: GME Supply Co., Access Rules and Ropeworks for resale from March 2018 (Astro) and March 2020 (Canyon Guide) through October 2023 for about $680 (Astro Bod Fast), $450 (Astro Sit Fast) and $330 (Canyon Guide) harness.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.

How many units are affected?

About About 29,300 (In addition, about 4,900 were sold in Canada) units of Petzl ASTRO BOD FAST, ASTRO SIT FAST and CANYON GUIDE harnesses are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
