Kangaroo manual equipment set of hammer with two screwdrivers — injuries risk

EU Safety GateSerious riskInjuriesFeb 2, 2007

Hazard

This product poses a serious risk of injury threatening the health of consumers and of people around because:- the hammer is made of common grey cast iron, with large graphite inclusions, suggesting very reduced strength, which is a pre-condition for breaking at stronger load on the fork, and eventually a metal part may spring off. Therefore, there is a risk of separation of the plastic handle from the metal stem;- the screwdrivers are made of low-carbon steel, not allowing for thermal treatment in order to increase the working reliability. Therefore, there is a risk of deformation (bending, twisting, rapid wearing) or breaking of the front working part of the screwdrivers.
