The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall of about 125,000 alpine ski bindings sold over a seven year period.
Atomic Skis says the heel that houses the bindings may crack, causing it to release unexpectedly and that can cause a skier to lose control and fall. The bindings were sold between 1998 and 2005.
Owners should stop using the bindings immediately and return them to their place of purchase for a free inspection and replacement.
