Investigation into Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats following reports that this product contains structural defects that limit its use and may pose a risk of injury to consumers.

Reported Issues:

Consumers report:

  • That their Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats experience premature breaking of the rubber straps, sometimes after just a few uses
  • That the metal coils or springs twist, loosen, or break, which reduces traction and can create a risk of slipping
  • Instances of inconsistent quality, including cleats that arrive damaged or with misaligned coils
  • That cleats shift or slip on footwear during use, impairing stability and increasing the risk of injury
  • That traction performance diminishes quickly, limiting safe and proper use

Why Consumers Should Be Concerned:

Potential claims include:

  • Economic loss
  • Product defect
  • Risk of injury
  • Performance vs. marketing

Signs You May Be Affected:

  • Your new Yaktrax Pro Traction Cleats arrived damaged or with misaligned components
  • The rubber straps or harness broke, tore, or snapped during normal use
  • The metal coils twisted, loosened, unraveled, or broke, reducing traction
  • You have slipped, tripped, or sustained an injury while wearing the cleats due to a loss of traction or other cleat-related issues
  • The traction of your cleats diminished or failed after normal use
