I just receive that message from Amazon;
We have recently learned that Petzl America (Clearfield, UT), in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is issuing a safety alert for its MYO and MYO Belt Headlamps. Our records indicate that you have purchased one of the headlamps listed in this recall through the Amazon.com website and are therefore affected by this recall.
The recall involves the MYO (battery pack attached to headband) and MYO BELT (remote battery pack attached via long electric cable) headlamps with the following model numbers: MYO (E26P), MYO-BLACK (E26PN), MYO 3 (E27P), MYO 3-BLACK (E27PN), MYO 5 (E28P), MYO 5-BLACK (E28PN), MYO BELT 3 (E29 P), MYO BELT 5 (E30 P), MYOLITE (E31 P), MYOLITE 3 (E32 P), MYOBELT SB5 (E33 P), MYO XP, BLUE (E83 P), MYO XP, GRAY (E83 P2), MYOBELT XP, BLUE (E84 P), and MYO XP BELT, GRAY (E84 P2). They were sold from February 2003 through August 2008 for between $40 and $80.
If the headlamp is used with rechargeable batteries, the cable connecting the battery pack to the lamp can spark, melt, or catch fire.
Petzl is asking consumers to immediately stop using rechargeable batteries with the headlamps and contact Petzl to obtain a new warning label. Consumers can continue to use the headlamps with non-rechargeable batteries. For additional information, contact Petzl America toll-free at (877) 740-3826 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at
