Latitude Outdoors has instructed all owners to cease using Carbon Synergy Climbing Sticks immediately because some steps have slipped or detached from the posts. The firm is investigating those reports and has halted use pending results.

After buying Treestyx LLC in late 2025 it released the sticks with a knotless attachment following extra tests. Customers who return the products receive a full refund through the Latitude portal or their dealer, and shops must take the sticks and Carbon Synergy Illuminators off sale.
