CPSC · 08403 · published 2008-09-18

CPSC campaign 08403

Hazard

If the headlamp is used with rechargeable batteries, the cable connecting the battery pack to the lamp can spark, melt, or catch fire. This poses a burn hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using rechargeable batteries with the headlamps and contact Petzl to obtain a new warning label. Consumers can continue to use the headlamps with non-rechargeable batteries.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
