Hazard

The product has been recalled as it has been identified that the button assembly on a limited number of 1.1” Omni Swivel Pulleys and associated variants may not be secure. A small number of pulleys manufactured from February 2020 through October 2022 may not have had adequate thread locker or sealant, allowing the set screw to back out. Under normal circumstances, either the thread lock or sealant is adequate to secure the button and prevent this issue. If the button comes out, the side plate can open, allowing the rope to fall out which could result in serious injury or death. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.

Remedy
