Reason for Recall

The upper portion of the hooks on the spreader bar are too flexible for holding the loops of the sling. The loop of the sling could potentially come out of the hooks if positioned in the upper portion of the hooks.

Firm Action

URGENT FIELD CORRECTION RECALL letters dated January 21, 2013 were sent to all direct accounts (customers).
