The Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling about 125,000 alpine ski bindings, manufactured in Austria by Atomic Skis GmbH, because the heel housing can crack and cause the binding to release unexpectedly.

An additional 1 million bindings were sold internationally. The company has received four reports of injuries, including one concussion.

The bindings were sold for between $150 and $350 at authorized Atomic USA ski dealers around the country between 1998 and 2005. Info: by phone at 888-535-7555; on the Web at http://www.atomicsnow.com or www.cpsc.gov.
