Rossignol snowboard bindings recalled

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of 2007 Rossignol HC snowboard bindings due to an injury risk.

The T-nuts that attach the buckles to the straps on the bindings can detach, possibly leading to injury, CPSC said.

About 3,500 pairs of bindings, made in China for Rossignol Ski Co., of Park City, Utah, were sold at sports stores from August 2007 through May 3008 for between $100 and $150.

The recall involves models HC 750, HC 1000, HC 2000, HC 3000, HC Mini, HC Amber, HC Diva, HC Harmony, HC Sonar, HC Zena and Jones Brown, CPSC said.

Consumers were advised to stop using the snowboard bindings and return them to a Rossignol retailer for an inspection and, if necessary, free T-nut replacements.

Consumers can call Rossignol at 888-243-6735 for information.
