Leatherman recalled about 17,000 Charge Plus and Charge Plus TTi multi-tools because the knife blade tip does not fully fold into the handle. That poses a laceration hazard. The tools were sold from July 2024 through March 2025.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary Fast Track recall on July 31, 2025. The recall is ongoing. Owners should stop using an affected tool and ask Leatherman for a free repair.
No injury lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed over these tools. CPSC reports no incidents or injuries tied to them.
Latest Leatherman Recall Updates
September 17, 2025: Health Canada Posts a Matching Recall
Health Canada posted recall RA-78068 for the same multi-tools on September 17, 2025. The company reported 891 units sold in Canada from July 2024 to March 30, 2025 [1].
July 31, 2025: Leatherman and CPSC Announce Recall 25-414
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Fast Track recall 25-414 on July 31, 2025. Leatherman is repairing about 17,000 Charge Plus and Charge Plus TTi multi-tools free of charge [2].
Which Leatherman Products Are Affected?
These Leatherman multi-tools are covered by the recall:
- Charge Plus, stainless steel, with a black MOLLE or black nylon sheath
- Charge Plus, black, with a black MOLLE or black nylon sheath
- Charge Plus TTi, stainless steel, with a black nylon sheath
The affected units were made from July 2024 to March 2025, and the name Leatherman is etched on the tool. Leatherman’s recall page gives a simple check [3].
Close the tool so all blades are stowed. Lay it flat with the logo facing you and look at the blade from the side. If the tip is visible, the tool is affected.
Why Was Leatherman Recalled?
The Leatherman multi-tools were recalled because the tip of the knife blade does not fully fold into the handle, posing a laceration hazard.
Leatherman says a small portion of units made from July 2024 to March 2025 has a defect that prevents the knife blade from fully closing. The company is fixing the tools through a repair program.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC reports no incidents or injuries for the recalled Leatherman multi-tools. Health Canada says the company received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada as of September 10, 2025.
Reports are not proof that a tool caused any particular injury, and the lack of reports does not rule one out.
What Should Consumers Do?
Owners of a Charge Plus or Charge Plus TTi can follow these steps:
- Stop using the tool.
- Go to leatherman.com/pages/charge-recall to see if your tool qualifies.
- Submit the recall form on that page.
- Look for a prepaid shipping label and packing slip in your email.
- Ship the tool to Leatherman. It repairs or replaces the blade and sends the tool back to you.
- Contact Leatherman at 800-847-8665 or charge@leatherman.com with questions about the recall.
- Report a problem with the tool to the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 or at SaferProducts.gov.
Legal Options
No injury lawsuit, class action, MDL or settlement names the recalled Leatherman multi-tools. A recall alone does not prove liability or eligibility for a claim.
If harm happened, a legal review can look at your facts. Deadlines come from state law, and missing one can end a claim.
Keep the tool and sheath, your receipt, photos of the blade tip, the recall form confirmation and any medical records.
