Anchor Bridge announces Rope Bridge Recall !!!

[rich_h]

Anchor Bridge Ropeworks is calling for the immediate cessation of use of the Anchor Bridge Replacement Rope Bridge (part # ABR 7110)(Please see attached notice)

 

I have become aware of a single product that has failed during normal use. This incident did not result in any injuries. I am asking that all users of this product render the product inoperable by carefully cutting one or both of the eyes.

 

The official all for cessation of use is attached to this post with more information.

 

We are in the process of testing this failed unit to determine the cause of the failure and more information will be made available as it becomes available.

 

I appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide to help ensure the full compliance of this notice.

 

Sincerely,

 

Richard Hattier

Anchor Bridge Ropeworks, Inc.

 

(moderators, if you could make this post "sticky" it would be greatly appreciated.) Thank you.

What harness' are they on then?

 

I'm guessing it a replacement for any of the harnesses that have a replaceable bridge.

[bareroots]

so do you refund anyone that does what you ask and cuts the gear up?

[Rupe]

Its not part of a harness, its a bridge extension.

[bareroots]

someones still being asked to cut up something they've purchased in good will with no declared come back

It is indeed a rope bridge for the Cougar harness that was recalled. The Anchor Bridge Climbing System is unaffected. As stated in the attached document in the original post a replacement is offered at no cost to the user.

Just wondering if 'bareroots' does all his work without the benefit of a rope and boots?
