LeMieux Junior Vector Balance Stirrups Recall Notification
Edited Press Release
At LeMieux, the safety of riders always comes first. As one of USPC’s trusted partners, LeMieux is sharing the news directly with the Pony Club community that they are recalling every pair of Junior Vector Balance Stirrups with immediate effect.
LeMieux regularly reviews their products, and their latest review, prompted by customer feedback, showed that the Junior Stirrups can catch a rider’s boot during a fall. The upstand that supports the release arm, combined with the size of the foot opening, can stop the foot from coming free, even when the release arm has opened.
The recall covers all three colorways, Aluminium (IT05553001), Black (IT05554001) and Rose Gold (IT06371001), sold at lemieux.com and through equestrian retailers between February 2025 and November 2026. The LeMieux adult Vector Balance, Vector Control and VectorFlex stirrups are not affected.
LeMieux is asking anyone with these stirrups to stop using them straight away. Those affected can register their stirrups at https://www.lemieux.com/product-recall, and LeMieux will send them a prepaid label to return them free of charge. They can choose a full refund or a LeMieux voucher, and no receipt is needed. For any questions, email productrecall@lemieux.com or call +44 (0)2380 814360 (UK and international) or 1-855-731-1978 (US, toll-free).
LeMieux recognizes how important this decision is, especially for riders who place their trust in LeMieux’s products. The company is working with BETA and the European standards committee to develop the first industry safety standard for stirrups, so riders of every age and size can ride with greater confidence.
