A limited number of units of the H500-Series Harnesses produced at the Nabeul, Tunisia facility between March 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025 may have been assembled with incorrect webbing routing through the front/sternal D-ring and/or leg buckles, posing a serious safety risk. This deviation may severely limit or even completely disable the safety function of the harness in the event of a fall from height. In specific circumstances, the front/sternal D-ring and leg buckles may not be able to withstand the necessary load requirements. This could result in serious, potentially fatal, injuries.
Please stop using the H500 harness that you purchased immediately and follow the steps below to check whether your product is potentially affected. If your product is identified as affected, please continue to refrain from using it. In this case, we kindly ask you to contact us (contact details below).
