Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Skiers can unintentionally displace a lever at the rear of the binding, which is used for fitting adjustment by ski technicians. If it is fully displaced, it can result in the unexpected release of the binding and possibly cause the user to fall.
