Atomic Skis USA Recalls Ski Bindings

Reports of Injury Prompts Recall

About 125,000 (an additional 1.0 million were sold outside the U.S.) Alpine Ski Bindings made by Atomic Skis GmbH, of Austria, are being recalled because the heel housing of the bindings can crack, causing the binding to release unexpectedly. This can cause the skier to lose control or fall and suffer injuries.

So far, Atomic has received 4 reports of injuries, including a concussion and injuries to the shoulder and knee from falls.

The recall affects the heel components of the following Atomic alpine ski bindings: Race 310, Race 412, RaceRace 310, RaceRace 412, Xentrix 310, Xentrix 311, Xentrix 412, C310, C311, C412, CR 310, CR 412, R 310, R 412, SX 310, SX 412, Device 311, Device 412, Centro 310, Centro 412, and Dynamic ADX 312, RD10, X412, Centro 412. The recall includes only those bindings manufactured from 1998 through 2002. The year of manufacture can be located on the underside of the heel lever.

The ski bindings were sold at authorized USA ski dealers nationwide from 1998 through 2005 for between $150 and $350.
