TL;DR: Health Canada recalled Simond ultra-light Alpinism quickdraws in blue and purple on September 15, 2026 for a wire-gate riveting defect that can break the gate and the carabiner in a fall.
Recall answer: which draws are pulled
The action covers Simond brand ultra-light Alpinism quickdraws in blue and purple, in 11 cm and 17 cm lengths, according to the Health Canada notice titled "Simond brand Alpinism quickdraws recalled due to injury hazard."
The listed model numbers are #8589547 and #8589548, marketed by Decathlon Canada, according to the same Health Canada notice.
The notice identifies the maker as Decathlon SE of Villeneuve D'Ascq, France, and states the quickdraws were manufactured in France.
The recall type is a consumer product recall in the sports and fitness category, published by Health Canada for the general public.
The identification number is RA-82616, with a recall date of 2026-09-15 and an original published date of 2026-09-15.
A separate Canadian news report titled "Simond Alpinism Quickdraws Recalled Over Rivet Defect" summarized the same Health Canada posting on September 15, 2026, with an update on September 16, 2026.
That report lists the same colors, lengths and model numbers 8589547 and 8589548, and attributes the photos in its account to Health Canada.
What the rivet defect can do
The issue is a defect on the riveting of the finger wire of the quickdraw, according to the Health Canada notice.
The notice describes it as an assembly defect that can lead to breakage of the wire finger.
The same defect can create a risk of breakage of the carabiner in the event of a fall, according to the notice.
The Canadian news report describes the flaw as an assembly defect that can lead to the wire finger breaking.
That report states the failure can create a risk of the carabiner breaking in the event of a fall.
A Spain-based safety report titled "¿Qué cintas Simond retira Decathlon por riesgo de rotura?" describes a mounting defect in the wire-trigger rivet of one carabiner on affected Simond express slings.
That report, published September 11, 2026 by author Marcos Rueda, states the trigger can break or detach and warns of carabiner failure and serious injury during a fall in certain circumstances.
The Health Canada notice directs owners not to use a quickdraw without completing verification at https://simondrecallquickdraw.fandi.fr/en.
How many sold, when sold, and injury status
The company reported that 1,078 units of the affected products were sold in Canada, according to the Health Canada notice.
The affected products were sold from January 2022 to July 2026, according to the notice.
The Canadian news report repeats the 1,078-unit total and the January 2022 to July 2026 sales period.
As of September 8, 2026, the company had not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada, according to the Health Canada notice.
The Canadian news report gives the same September 8, 2026 status and the same statement of no reported incidents or injuries in Canada.
The Spain-based report states its warning covers references sold between January 1, 2022 and July 23, 2026.
That wider European warning is an announcement from Decathlon about a safety check and store return, not a completed injury investigation.
Wider Decathlon check involves five references
The Spain-based report states Decathlon maintains an active safety notice for five Simond climbing slings in the Alpinism and Vertika ranges.
The five references named there are Alpinism 11 cm reference 4051175, Alpinism 17 cm reference 4051176, a five-pack of Alpinism slings reference 4171656, Vertika 11 cm reference 5499689, and Vertika 17 cm reference 5500194.
The same report states the indication applies to selected references sold over more than four and a half years.
It states that not every unit of those five references is necessarily defective, and that material within the notice is subject to review.
The Canadian recall names only the two Alpinism model numbers #8589547 and #8589548, while the Spain-based report names the five European references above.
Readers should use the reference number and the sales interval rather than exterior appearance alone, because the Spain-based report warns that packaging may be lost and carabiners can be mixed across seasons.
The Health Canada action and the European safety notice share the same failure point in the wire-gate rivet, but they list different reference systems and different geographic scopes.
What owners are told to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product, according to the Health Canada notice.
Owners are told to complete the necessary check and contact Decathlon Canada to obtain a refund, according to the notice.
For more information, consumers may contact Decathlon Canada Customer Service by phone at 1-844-533-3322 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, according to the notice.
Consumers may also contact Decathlon Canada by email at [email protected], according to the notice.
The Canadian news report lists the same phone hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and the same email address.
The notice also tells owners not to use a quickdraw without first completing the verification at the listed recall-check site.
The Spain-based report states that owners with one of the listed slings should not reuse it until the rivet has been checked.
That report states that a product with a confirmed defect can be returned in store with reimbursement of the purchase price.
Shelter, resale and incident-reporting rules
The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada, according to the Health Canada notice.
The Canadian news report repeats that prohibition on redistribution, sale or giveaway in Canada.
That restriction means a recalled Alpinism draw cannot be passed to another climber, donated, or placed in a shared gear cache in Canada.
Health Canada asks consumers to report health or safety incidents related to the product by filling out the Consumer Product Incident Report Form, according to the notice.
The notice states the recall is also posted on the OECD Global Portal on Product Recalls, which carries information on other international consumer product recalls.
What this means for a bug-out bag or climb kit
A bug-out bag that includes climbing hardware for evacuation, river crossing or shelter rigging should have the two Canadian model numbers checked against any stored Simond Alpinism quickdraw.
Any blue and purple ultra-light Alpinism quickdraw measuring 11 cm or 17 cm and marked #8589547 or #8589548 falls inside the Canadian recall scope described by Health Canada.
The required step before any further load-bearing use is the online verification at https://simondrecallquickdraw.fandi.fr/en identified in the notice.
A draw that has not completed that verification is described by the notice as not to be used.
The remedy named in Canada is a refund through Decathlon Canada, using the phone number and email above, not a field repair.
Owners who bought in Europe or hold Vertika models should compare the European references 4051175, 4051176, 4171656, 5499689 and 5500194 and the January 1, 2022 to July 23, 2026 interval described in the Spain-based report.
A sling that matches one of those five references should be held out of use until the rivet check described in that announcement is completed.
Replacement planning should account for the 1,078-unit Canadian sales total and the January 2022 to July 2026 sales window, because a long-held draw can still be inside the affected period.
Incident status in Canada remained at no reported incidents or injuries as of September 8, 2026, so the action is a preventive removal based on the riveting defect rather than a response to a reported Canadian failure.
