Mammut announces voluntary recall of Barryvox 2 and Barryvox S2 avalanche beacons

Mammut has always stood for quality, safety, and innovation since 1862. The safety and protection of our athletes and consumers are at the heart of everything we do. Hence, we continuously test and improve our materials and products to uphold our high standards. During this process, we identified a potential issue with the power switch of the new avalanche beacons Mammut Barryvox 2 and Mammut Barryvox S2 in some cases, and we therefore decided to recall all potentially affected products for inspection, and where applicable, repair or exchange.

The potential malfunction is based on an assembly issue. As a result, the main switch on the affected devices may be misaligned leading to unintentional switching from Send to Search mode with lateral pressure, or possibly even turning the device off completely. This defect can pose a potential safety risk to users and requires rectification.

Upon identifying this issue, we conducted a 100% inspection of our stock, confirming that only Barryvox 2 and Barryvox S2 models may be impacted. The Barryvox and Barryvox S models from previous seasons are not affected by this issue. ​

Fortunately, we were able to identify the root cause of the potential malfunction and immediately started the mitigation process, to ensure the timely inspection or replacement of affected devices.
