Snowboard Boots with Boa Secondary Reels
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The secondary reel can become stuck in the open position, causing the fit at the forefoot of the boot or tongue to loosen and posing a fall hazard.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fall risk.
