Dear Customer, 
At Grivel, your safety is our highest priority.
We are writing to inform you of a preliminary safety recall concerning the mountaineering crampons “Rambo 4 cramp-o-matic Evo (RARAM4.COME)” and “Rambo 4 cramp-o-matic Evo America (RARAM4.COME.A)”.

Through post-market monitoring, we have identified a potential safety issue affecting the rear bail of this product.  
Our assessment has shown that the rear bail used on the Rambo 4 cramp-o-matic Evo and Rambo 4 cramp-o-matic Evo America may disengage more easily than intended. Because this product is personal protective equipment (PPE) used in mountaineering activities, this behavior could represent a safety risk. 

Important – what you must do now: 

Please STOP USING the Rambo 4 cramp-o-matic Evo and Rambo 4 cramp-o-matic Evo America immediately until further notice.
