Recall: Trango Vergo belay device

Trango recalls certain series of its Vergo device.

The devices of the series (batches) 16159 and 16195, which were produced after October 1st, 2016, are affected by the recall. If operated incorrectly, the safety bracket can impair the braking mechanism. Apparently there were two incidents, but they went smoothly.

The details of the recall can be found in the PDF by Trango.
