The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada announced today that Rome Snowboards is recalling its 2010 United bindings due to reported breakage of base plates in cold weather, which can post a “fall hazard.”

The voluntary recall says that Rome has received 14 reports of broken base plates, but no injuries have been reported. The company sold approximately 2,900 pairs of Uniteds in the States and 220 in Canada between September and December of last year.

Riders are being instructed to immediately stop using the bindings and contact Rome for a free replacement set.
