A recall has been issued for LoGest climbing ropes that pose a fall hazard.
A notice issued by Health Canada on Wednesday says the recall involves ropes made of hemp – some with a carabiner and others with a metal hook – that were sold in lengths of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 feet.
“The climbing ropes can weaken and break, posing a fall hazard to consumers,” according to the notice.
The word “LoGest” appears on the black plastic on the ends of all ropes.
The notice said there have been no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada related to the ropes. It said in the U.S., there have been 13 reports of ropes breaking as of Feb. 13, “including one report of a fall that resulted in a severe spinal cord injury.”
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a notice last week that said importer Setsmart recalled more than 20,000 of the ropes. It said the ropes were sold on Amazon from March 2021 to November 2024. It noted that 350 units were sold in Canada, in addition to about 25 units in Mexico.
The Health Canada notice said consumers should stop using the recalled climbing ropes immediately and uninstall them. They can register for a full refund at www.LoGestRopeRecall.com. Customers will be given directions on how to properly dispose of the ropes.
The note also stated that it is prohibited to redistribute, sell or give away recalled products in Canada.
