Summary

Product Recall for Chest and Body Climbing Harness with Adjustable Buckle sold via Amazon presenting a serious risk of injuries.

The risk

The product has been identified as presenting a serious risk of injuries or falling from a height as it is classed as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and was not supplied with the required compliance documentation or markings to demonstrate that it has been adequately conformity assessed.

The absence of such independent assessment for such a product may increase the risk to the consumer that the product may not perform as expected when relied upon across a wide range of uses.
