Product Warning Notice - Boots with Removable
Toe Sections

January 17th, 2006

Bomber Industries has come across a serious safety issue with a particular type of snowboard hardboot that can cause severe injury to the user. After receiving multiple reports of this issue and reading various observations of this on our Forum area we decided to conduct some tests of our own. These test we ran did confirm the issue this type of boot has.

Any snowboard hardboot with a removable toe section is in danger of allowing the boot to eject from the binding. For clarification, this applies to boots where the entire toe section is removable and NOT with boots where just the toe pad can be removed. We have found that boots with a removable toe sections can under certain conditions and situation allow the boot to come out of a snowboard hardplate binding resulting in loss of control. This applies to both step-in and standard type snowboard plate bindings.

Using boots with a removable toe section may lead to serious injury or death. Bomber does not recommend or condone the use of these type of boots. However, Bomber does not recommend using them in any binding products we have sold, are currently selling or will sell in the future.
