Petzl Ball-Lock Recall

[David Trippett]

Petzl America is recalling certain BALL-LOCK carabiners due to a quality issue with a limited number of the M34 BL Am'D BALL-LOCK and M36 BL WILLIAM BALL-LOCK carabiners with the new metal locking sleeve: the sleeve may be unlocked without pressing the green button, so the locking system acts as a TWIST-LOCK, instead of a BALL-LOCK.

THIS IS A NEW RECALL.

 

The first was for 5-10% of them, now it's for ALL of them made in a certain time window...or at least thats what I made of the recall they just sent me.
