Climbing gear recall notice: Petzl Scorpio Eashook lanyards

This page sets out what three records say about one recall: the Petzl Scorpio Eashook lanyard with carabiners, recalled in the United States and Canada on February 9, 2022 and recorded in the United Kingdom with a recall date of February 25, 2022. The records are the CPSC recall record, the Health Canada notice and the UK product recall 2202-0358. The CPSC describes the lanyard as designed for via ferrata and adventure park use. It sits in the register because the notices cover a lanyard with carabiners. The wider list is in the guide to climbing gear recalls and safety notices. The notices linked below are the record. This page reports what the official source says. It is not legal advice: ask the office named here.

The fault as the notices describe it

All three records give the same fault: the automatic closing system of the carabiner gate can malfunction, so the gate stays open and no longer closes by itself. The CPSC words the result as a risk of serious injury or death. Health Canada says a material strength defect in a component inside the gate of the connector causes the malfunction, and names a fall as the result. The UK notice says a carabiner used with the gate open does not ensure the user's safety, and records that the product does not meet the Personal Protective Equipment (Enforcement) Regulations 2018.

Which lanyards

The CPSC describes the lanyard as having two retractable polyethylene arms, each ending in an aluminum carabiner. It supports up to 264 pounds, measures about 30 inches un-retracted and about 43 inches extended, and has a short arm of about 14 inches. The word SCORPIO is printed on the gray zippered pouch that houses the energy absorber. The serial number is on a white tag inside that pouch. The three records give the same range:

Serial numbers from 21A 0000000 000 through 21I 9999999 999.
Health Canada lists model number L060BA00 with EAN 334250819078.
The UK notice lists L060BA00 sold singly, and the via ferrata kits K029DA00 and K029DA01. It limits the recall to lanyards made and delivered since January 1, 2021.

The CPSC says the refund is full, includes shipping, and comes with a postage-paid label for returning the lanyard. Health Canada names a full refund and replacement. The CPSC lists the remedy type as refund. The UK notice points owners to a Petzl recall page, which returned "not found" on October 9, 2026 and is not linked here.
