Black Diamond Neve Strap Crampons Recall Class Action Lawsuit
Black Diamond Equipment is recalling around 350 Neve Strap Crampons and Accessory Kits because the heel cup can detach from the crampon and cause the user to fall while they are climbing. The problems occurs when the plastic heel cup of the unit comes loose, thereby allowing the heel cup to detach. Three incidents of the heel cup detaching have been reported by ice climbers, so clearly, this is not an isolated incident.
The recalled units are Style No 400073, which are made of bright green aluminum plates with spikes. The crampons have a black plastic toe and black webbing straps that fasten around the ankle. To verify that your crampons are part of the recall, look for the following date codes on rubber heel strap pull-tab or the underside of the toe piece: 01-2021, 05-2022, 07-2023, 01-2024 and SS1271.
Those who own these crampons and accessory kits can contact Black Diamond Equipment to receive a refund upon returning the defective item. On the other hand, those who fell and injured themselves while using this product deserve justice in the form of monetary damages, like medical expenses and lost wages. A class action lawyer at our office can help you file a lawsuit, which you can learn about during a free case evaluation.

Any time there is a design or mechanical issue with a piece of climbing equipment, the user is at risk of serious injuries or death from a fall-related accident. Examples of injuries caused by crampons that come apart while they are being used include:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Deep lacerations
- Brain injury and other signs of head trauma
- Dislocated joints
- Damage to the spinal cord
- Neck injury
- Rupturing of internal organs
- Death
Remember that your health takes precedence over everything else, so don’t hesitate to call 911 if you have serious injuries. If you are able to go to the hospital on your own, please do so right away to establish a paper trail of evidence. By far, your medical records are the most important documentation for a product defect accident claim. Aside from seeking medical attention, here are some other steps we recommend:
- Keep anything that can support your right to compensation, like written statements from witnesses, medical bills, time off requests from your job, and photos of your injuries and the accident scene.
- Make sure to contact the manufacturer and let them know about the accident. If they ask for a recorded statement, say no, as it’s easy to say something that can hurt your case. If they offer you anything as a remedy, like the option to receive a refund, say no.
- Seek legal advice from a lawyer who can sue for negligence by a product manufacturer.
