Risk of falling with Arcteryx ski boots - voluntary recall

Arcteryx is known for high-priced but solid products. Now, however, the Canadian company is recalling various models of its ski boots. For some shoes, obviously, the axle pin loosens, which can lead to the fall of the skier.

Here are the details of the recall of Acteryx.

Why is Arcteryx doing this callback?

With a small number of boots, the axle bolt has loosened during use. Arcteryx is therefore voluntarily recalling to repair the axle bolt for the shoe to function properly.

Which models are affected?

All 6 models of the Procline boat with a date of manufacture between the 1. November 2015 and the 31. March 2017 will be recalled
