Earlier today, both Black Diamonds' snow account and the official PIEPS Instagram made announcements that they are starting a "voluntary product correction program" in Europe, Pacific Asia, and Latin America effective today, March 3rd, 2021. As for North American, plans are in place, and steps are being taken to set up a product recall for PIEPS DSP avalanche transceivers. This is on top of the work they are doing alongside the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada to ensure the safety of their users.

They go on to say that although 3rd party, as well as in-house evaluations of the product, shows them to be working as intended, they are committed to improving, and providing users with safe products. This dedication to following up on user feedback like that from Nick McNutt, and the resulting threads about it here on NS, can be credited as the spark that got this program off the ground.
