Leatherman Issues Voluntary Recall for Charge Plus and Charge Plus TTi Multi-Tools
Leatherman, a well-known brand of multi-tools, has announced a voluntary recall for their Charge Plus and Charge Plus TTi multi-tools. The recall is due to a design flaw that poses a risk of injury to users.
The recall affects multi-tools sold between July 2024 and March 2025. If you own either of these products, you should visit Leatherman's recall page at leatherman.com/pages/charge-recall to determine if it requires recall.
