Petzl has issued a recall for the GriGri2.

"Petzl has discovered that exerting excessive force on the fully extended handle of the GRIGRI 2 can cause internal damage, such that the GRIGRI 2 handle may become stuck in the open position"

A GriGri2 damaged this way will function as a tube-style device, and will NOT auto-lock

From the Petzl site:

If you have a GRIGRI 2 (D14 2O, D14 2G, D14 2B) with the first five digits of the serial number between 10326 and 11136, stop use immediately and contact Petzl America to initiate an exchange.
Contact Petzl America in one of two ways:
- By phone: 1 (800) 932-2978 (toll free)
- By email: grigri2recall@petzl.com

Wallnuts will be sending a box to Petzl with recalled GriGri2s. If you want yours sent in with ours, just drop it in to Wallnuts before 10pm, Wednesday June 22nd.
