tomtom Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Northern Mountain Supply called and said they wanted their Wild Country Helium biners back. The excuse was that there was a bad batch of 50 biners that made it out into the market. If I send then my biners, they'll give me my money back. Bad biner. Baaaaadddd biner.

Illini Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I had business with Backcountry Store today and asked about this. They confirmed that they had recieved a recall notice but she could not tell me the specific batch. Figure I just bought 12 of the F'ers. Now I have to find some thine else to climb on this weekend. Time to buy some more superflies On a side note this might be good for me as I destroyed one last weekend. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
