Braunability Ab SL Standard Lockable recalled over a safety defect
The Standard Lockable bar have 9 feet (screws) in the bar which are screwed in by a robot arm and then ‘swaged’ over in a press so that they cannot be undone. The ‘swaged’ process was not carried out correctly for some of the parts manufactured and so the screws could be undone by hand.
