The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Rossignol, has announced a voluntary recall of the 2007 Rossignol HC snowboard bindings. Consumers should stop using the bindings immediately unless otherwise instructed.
     Although no injuries have been reported, it has been found that the t-nuts that attach the buckles to the straps on the snowboard's bindings can detach, posing a fall hazard to consumers.
     This recall involves 2007 model year Rossignol snowboard bindings. Models included in the recall are: HC 750, HC 1000, HC 2000, HC 3000, HC Mini, HC Amber, HC Diva, HC Harmony, HC Sonar, HC Zena and Jones Brown.
     The bindings were sold at snowboard, ski and sporting good stores nationwide from August 2007 through May 2008 for between $100 and $150.
     Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bindings and take them to a Rossignol snowboard retailer for inspection and free replacement t-nuts. Consumers can also contact Rossignol at (888) 243-6735 to have a repair kit mailed to them. T-nuts marked in red-ink or with an embossed dot have been repaired.
