Dmm carabiner recall

[jackmayo]

Dmm have just released a possible recall on some carabiners, the serial numbers need checking as lucky it is not a blanket recall!

 

It has come to our attention that the locking mechanisms of some DMM locking carabiners are developing a dysfunction

 

In a small percentage of carabiners, the interaction between the internal coil spring (which gives the gate it’s closing action) and the spring pusher (the component that holds the spring against the carabiner body) may cause the spring pusher to displace, potentially preventing the gate from closing or the mechanism from locking completely.

 

This has raised obvious safety concerns, and we are taking this step to ensure the safety of the users of DMM carabiners. This only affects certain batches of the carabiners listed below:
