What the authority reported
3M have identified an aging effect that may impact the performance of self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) produced from January 2022 to October 2024. In the event of a fall, these devices may not lock up as designed which could expose the worker to serious injury or, potentially, death. Any devices repaired by 3M, or an authorised service centre during this timeframe, may also be affected. Affected sizes are all variants of the 85 ft (~26M), 130 ft (~40M) self-retracting lifelines.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
