On April 2, 2026, OCUN NA LLC issued a recall for their Condor HMS Triple Locking Carabiners. According to the recall, number 26-373, the carabiner’s gate can malfunction where the gate does not close automatically and must be closed manually, which poses a risk of serious injury or death by falling. The recall affects approximately 295 units.
The affected carabiners were sold in blue and dark gray. The carabiners have an independent internal wire gate for belaying/rappelling and a triple locking action gate. The carabiners involved in the recall are associated with the following batch numbers:
- 24003xx
- 24004xx
- 24010xx
- 24023xx
- 24024xx
- 24025xx
- 25005xx
- 25006xx
The batch number can be found on the spine of the carabiner.
The recalled carabiners were sold from February 2025 through February 2026 for prices ranging between $23 and $60. They were available for purchase in-store at Fire Ascent Climbing and Fitness Arlington, and Vertical escape Climbing Center and online via Hownot2.com, backcountry.com, verticallstore.com, and outdoorprolink.com.
According to the recall, no incidents or injuries have been reported.
The company is urging all affected consumers to stop using the recalled carabiner and contact them for a free replacement. Further, consumers will be instructed to fill out a form, email it to the company, and follow other steps to receive a prepaid return label to send the recalled carabiner back to the company.
However, if you or a member of your family suffered any injury related to the defective product, it is important that you understand that you could have the right to file a claim. Based on the details surrounding the situation, you could pursue a claim under product liability law and even participate in a class action claim. For more information about the legal options available to you, please do not hesitate to reach out to the team here at the Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible.
The Injuries that May Occur
The recalled carabiners pose a high risk of harm, since the carabiners are used for hiking, climbing, and other potentially dangerous activities. When these carabiners fail (specifically, when they do not close automatically and must be closed manually), users may not realized that the carabiners are still open, potentially leading to falls during use. Without a doubt, falls while climbing or hiking can result in extensive injuries, which may include traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, lacerations, scrapes, bruises, etc. In addition, survivors of these incidents may also be left suffering from psychological harm, which may include post-traumatic stress, panic, depression, anxiety, etc.
No matter the specific harm that occurred, it is important for affected consumers and their families to explore the legal options available to them.

Can I File a Class Action Lawsuit?
Yes, affected consumers could file class action claims for harm resulting from the recalled carabiners or any other defective product. Since defective products can harm consumers in very similar ways, mass torts and class action claims are very common. Is there a class action lawsuit? Since there have been no reported incidents or injuries, there is no class action yet. How can I join or be a part of a class action lawsuit on this case? In general, joining a class action can be as simple as reaching out to the right class action lawyer.
