What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Petzl SIMBA CLIMBING and SIMBA PARK Children's Harnesses, SWAN EASYFIT STEEL and SWAN EASYFIT STAINLESS Harnesses?
Petzl SIMBA CLIMBING and SIMBA PARK Children's Harnesses, SWAN EASYFIT STEEL and SWAN EASYFIT STAINLESS Harnesses was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The recalled harnesses are missing rivets in the FAST LT PIN-LOCK buckles, causing the buckles 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 and operators should stop using and selling the recalled harnesses immediately and contact Petzl America at Aftersales_US@petzl.com for a free replacement harness. Sold at: The PAD Climbing Gym stores nationwide and resellers online at Karst Sports.com and Peak Trading.com from May 2023 through November 2025 for about $130 (SIMBA) and from July 2021 through November 2025 for about $280 (SWAN).. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
