Setsmart recalled LoGest climbing ropes in February 2025 because the ropes can weaken and break, posing a fall hazard. Wichard Groupe North America recalled Courant Spliced Kalimba climbing ropes in August 2026 after two reports of splice failures.
CPSC announced both recalls. The LoGest recall is a Fast Track Recall. Owners should stop using the ropes right away.
Both recalls are open: LoGest owners can register for a refund, and Kalimba owners can request a replacement. No lawsuit, MDL or class action names either rope, so the recalls are the only formal actions.
Latest Climbing Rope Recall Updates
August 6, 2026: Courant Spliced Kalimba Ropes Recalled
On August 6, 2026, the CPSC announced that Wichard Groupe North America recalled about 1,050 Courant Spliced Kalimba climbing ropes under recall number 26-675 [1].
The notice lists two reports of splices failing and no injuries. It tells owners to stop using the ropes. They can sign up for a free replacement rope, and the company pays for shipping.
February 19, 2025: Health Canada Publishes LoGest Notice
On February 19, 2025, Health Canada published its recall notice for the LoGest climbing ropes, identification number RA-76966 [2]. The notice follows the earlier CPSC recall of the same ropes in the United States.
As of February 11, 2025, the company had received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. The notice lists the affected ropes by Amazon product number.
February 13, 2025: Setsmart Recalls LoGest Climbing Ropes
On February 13, 2025, CPSC announced that Setsmart LLC recalled about 22,500 LoGest climbing ropes under recall number 25-130, a Fast Track Recall [3].
The notice lists 13 reports of ropes breaking. One report described a fall with a severe spinal cord injury. The remedy is a full refund.
Which Climbing Ropes Are Affected?
The recalls cover these LoGest and Courant Spliced Kalimba ropes:
- LoGest Climbing Rope with Carabiner: hemp rope with a silver “D” ring and silver climbing carabiner, in 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 50 feet
- LoGest Climbing Rope with Heavy-Duty Metal Hook: brown hemp rope with a blue stripe and a black metal hook
- Courant Spliced Kalimba in lollipop color: part numbers MH730JZC045 (45m), MH730JZC050 (50m) and MH730JZC060 (60m)
- Courant Spliced Kalimba in bubblegum color: part numbers MH730MCC045 (45m), MH730MCC050 (50m) and MH730MCC060 (60m)
LoGest ropes show “LoGest” in white text on the black plastic ends. On Kalimba ropes, the tag on the rope ends shows brand, part number, type (diameter) and length.
The LoGest recall covers about 22,500 ropes in the United States, about 350 sold in Canada and about 25 in Mexico. They sold on Amazon.com from March 2021 through November 2024 for between $20 and $70.
Kalimba ropes sold through Vertical Supply Group, Arbsession, RBI Corporation and nationwide retailers from January 2023 through June 2026 for between $250 and $350.
Why Were the Climbing Ropes Recalled?
The LoGest ropes were recalled because, in CPSC’s words, “the climbing ropes can weaken and break, posing a fall hazard to consumers.”
The Courant Spliced Kalimba ropes were recalled over a splice problem. CPSC says “the spliced termination ends on the recalled ropes can fail unexpectedly.” CPSC adds that a failed splice could lead to serious injury or death from a fall.
Setsmart LLC of Brooklyn, New York imported the LoGest ropes. The Kalimba recall also covers other spliced Kalimba ropes made under Courant splicing protocols prior to June 15, 2026.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
LoGest received 13 reports of its ropes breaking, according to CPSC. For the Kalimba ropes, two reports of splices failing reached the company. No injuries were reported with those two splice failures.
Reports alone do not prove that a rope caused every incident or injury. Anyone who has had a rope fail can report it through the CPSC channel listed in the steps below.

Follow these steps if you own a recalled LoGest or Courant Spliced Kalimba rope:
- Stop using the rope immediately. LoGest owners should also uninstall it.

Legal Options
The CPSC recalls of the LoGest and Courant Spliced Kalimba ropes do not automatically prove liability or eligibility. Anyone injured by one of these ropes may ask for an individual legal review of their situation.
