On May 20, 2008, K2 Sports recalled about 2,500 pairs of 2007 K2 ?Auto? Series Snowboard Bindings because the cable linking the toe strap to the binding can break, posing a fall hazard.

The recalled snowboard bindings were sold in black or white with ?K2? and ?Auto? printed on the toe strap. Snowboard, ski, and sporting goods retailers sold the recalled snowboard bindings from August 2007 through May 2008 for about $230.

Consumers who own a recalled K2 2007 K2 ?Auto? Series Snowboard Binding should immediately stop using it and return it to the place of purchase or contact K2 Sports at 800-985-2191 for a free shipment and repair. For more information, customers may email the company or visit the company?s website.
