Covert/Stealth Recall - Consumers

September 12th, 2025

IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE – IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

Dear Valued Werner Customer,

For over 60 years, Werner Paddles has been dedicated to building the highest performing longest lasting paddles on the market.  While we rigorously test all of our products before they are sold and hold every Werner paddle to the highest standards, we have recently found a quality issue with our Stealth and Covert models.

Werner Paddles has determined that under certain conditions, the Stealth and Covert paddle may fail during use on rivers.  This could lead to the paddle breaking, causing a risk of potential injury.  

We are prepared to provide you with a credit on our website via a gift card for a new paddle or a refund.  Such paddle(s) that you have in your possession will need to be destroyed and we will require photo evidence of each of the paddles being destroyed.  

Please find a link here where you can register to receive a gift card or refund and upload photos of the destroyed paddles. You may use the gift card to purchase other paddles, or, if you choose, you can wait until we fix the issue with the Stealth and Covert paddles at which time we can replace the paddles with the updated model(s).

Please do not hesitate to contact us by email stealthcovert@wernerpaddles.com with any questions you may have.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you or your customers.  Thank you for your partnership.

Sincerely,

Werner Paddles
