Default Anchor Bridge announces Rope Bridge Recall !!!

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.

Sticky is done.

How did it fail? Did it wear out like too much rubbing at one point etc?

Thank you Ekka for making this post "sticky"

This incident is still being investigated so, unfortunately, I cannot offer much information as of yet, but as information becomes available I will certainly share it.
