Salewa North America Khion Ski Boots
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The ski boots can inadvertently switch from "ski" to "walk" mode, the boots' upper cuffs can separate, and in the Khion Carbon model, the carbon boot shell can crack, posing a fall hazard and risk of injury to the consumer.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fall risk.
