The CPSC says C.A.M.P. USA Inc. of Golden, Colorado, is recalling about 2,230 mountain ice axes because a screw can loosen during use. The agency warns the handle or pick can then detach, which poses a risk of serious injury or death from a fall. The recall was announced on November 5, 2026, and no incidents or injuries have been reported.
What's Being Recalled?
The recall covers the X-Dream, X-Dream Total Dry, X-All Mountain Hammer and X-All Mountain Adze ice axes, which are designed for vertical ice climbing. They have "CAMP" in white lettering on the shaft, and the batch number is on the side of the shaft. The nut and bolt kit, sold separately as an accessory, is also recalled. The axes were sold at REI stores nationwide and online at Camp-usa.com, Backcountry.com, Amazon.com and REI.com from November 2025 through September 2026 for between $30 and $330. They were manufactured in Italy. The affected products and batches are:

Why Was This Product Recalled?
A screw on the ice axes can loosen while the tool is in use. If that happens, the handle or pick can detach from the axe, which the CPSC says poses a risk of serious injury or death from a fall. Climbers using the axes on vertical ice face the most direct exposure to this hazard.
What Should You Do?
Stop using the recalled ice axes immediately. Check the model and batch number on the side of the shaft, then register at https://www.camp-usa.com/x-bolt-recall-102026 to get a free repair kit. You can either repair the axes yourself using the kit and instructions, or have C.A.M.P. repair them, in which case the company sends a prepaid shipping label and packaging. The replacement screw and nut come in black in the accessory kit, and the new screw has a batch number marking. The recalled screw and nut have no batch number. Questions?
