Reason for the safety recall
The original ISC REFLEX MH285 model may experience accelerated wear of the upper links, which could cause the device to slip unexpectedly on the rope, potentially resulting in a fall from height.
This wear may not be detectable during a routine pre-use inspection or a periodic PPE inspection.
