Mammut Recalls Barryvox 2 and S2 Avalanche Transceivers

In collaboration with BAKOM, Mammut is recalling the Barryvox 2 and S2 avalanche transceivers (LVS). The main switch can unintentionally switch to an undesired mode. Therefore, using the device poses a safety risk.

What danger do the affected products pose?

The main switch on some products may be misaligned. Lateral pressure on the main switch can result in an unintended switch to search or off mode. In the event of locating a person buried by an avalanche, this person may not be found or found very late, resulting in serious injuries or death of the buried person.
