- KIT including any of the above ropes

The request was issued due to one instance of a client reporting two critical defects. At this time, no other defect or resulting accident or injury has been reported. The defects are believed to have occurred on a single rope-cutting machine in the production line.
Petzl has requested that operators with the above ropes perform an inspection by hand, without gloves, along the entire length of the rope in accordance with this operating procedure.
Any operators who have questions or find a defect are encouraged to contact Petzl. For more information and to read the inspection request in its entirety, click here.
