Yak Throwline Safety Warning
Posted
25th September 2009
Customer Safety is of paramount importance to us and we have identified a potential safety issue with a small number of YAK THROW LINES sold between May 2009 and September 2009.
15M Throw Line - 6222-15
20m Throw Line - 6222-20
25m Throw Line - 6222-25
What the fault is:
The safety issue is caused by the joining of rope used within the line. This means when weight is applied to the line, it may separate. The Line should NOT have any joins in it.
Nothing matters more to us than the safety of our customers, so if you have bought this item please inspect the rope.
How to identify a fault:
Feed the throw line through your hands slowly looking for a join, this can be easily felt as a rough bur. Take care not to burn your hands during this process, if the rope is gripped too tightly or pulled to quickly.
What you should do if you find a fault?
Return the throwline to any of our stores for a replacment.
