Summary
Product Recall for specific product codes and ranges of Hilti (GB) Limited Ventilated Cavity Barriers found not to consistently achieve the declared reaction to fire performance.

This may lead to partial detachment of the intumescent strip in the case of fire, potentially reducing the final fire performance of the cavity barrier.
