SAFETY WARNING re: Marlow Aeris

[ArbjobsNick]

Just noticed a recall notice from Marlow on the Buxtons website I don't know how many of you are climbing on Aeris but you need to check the batch numbers and return it to your retailer if yours meets this criteria.

 

 

Potential Quality Issue with Marlow Aeris Climbing Rope - Buxtons Blog - Arborist & Forestry Equipment

 

[Marlow Announcement in Full]

 

It has come to our attention that there may be a potential quality issue with the splices in some batches of Marlow Aeris Climbing Rope.

 

It has been discovered that some ropes may have been inadequately spliced, thereby resulting in a potential safety issue. The part numbers and batches that are potentially affected are detailed below and in the first instance we recommend that any ropes that you may still have in stock be inspected immediately.

 

We also recommend that any Aeris ropes sold to your customers that are still in active use also be returned for batch number confirmation and inspection or replacement where necessary

 

Ropes that pass our factory inspection will be returned and any rope found to have a suspect splice will be replaced free of charge immediately.

 

We stress that this is a precautionary exercise, that not all batched of Aeris rope are affected and that this quality issue only potentially affects the batches detailed. No other spliced Marlow products including Gecko are affected. This issue only affects the splice, the rope itself is unaffected and can continue to be used.

 

We apologise for this issue but confirm that remedial action has been taken to ensure no such problem occurs again.

 

The parts and batches affect are all listed on the Buxtons website but include batch numbers:

 

WKD800

WKD801

WKD811

WKD812

 

The part number and batch number can be read from the product label fixed at the neck of the splice:
