  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/BGYm7dKKqVE   The CPSC and Petzl are recalling the PIRANA Descender Canyoneering Devices.  The climber’s rope may become caught or wedged in the device’s blocking slot preventing the individual from moving up or down.  If the climber is suspended in a waterfall or in a pool, there is a risk of drowning.  About 3450 of these devices were sold in the US and 177 were sold in Canada at REI, Karst Sports, Backcountry.com, petzl.com, and other websites and outdoor stores.  Immediately stop using these descender devices and contact Petzl by phone at 1-877-807-3805 or via email at Returns@petzl.com to arrange for a full refund and a pre-paid shipping label.   https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2022/Petzl-Recalls-PIRANA-Descender-Canyoneering-Devices-Due-to-Drowning-Risk   #pirana #descender #locking #injury #drowning #recall
