LeMieux has recalled its Junior Vector Balance Stirrups following safety concerns. In an announcement yesterday (Tuesday 10 November), the equestrian retailer asked riders to stop using the product immediately as a recent review, which was prompted by customer feedback, showed that the Junior Stirrups can catch a riders boot during a fall. The review discovered that 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 affects all three colourways, Aluminium, Black and Rose Gold, sold atlemieux.comand through equestrian retailers between February 2025 and November 2026. LeMieuxs adult Vector Balance, Vector Control and Vector Flex stirrups are not affected.We take full responsibilityPlease stop using the Junior Stirrups straight away, whatever the riders foot size, said Dan Mahoney, chief executive officer at LeMieux.Weve found that in a fall, the stirrup can catch a riders boot even when the release arm has opened. That isnt good enough for any rider, so were recalling every pair. We designed this stirrup and we take full responsibility for putting it right. Im sorry to every rider and family affected.
