Ergodyne has recalled approximately 16,570 Squids 3705 Wire Tool Attachments (Screw Gate Tool Tail) due to a defect where the wire loop can break when a tool weighing over two pounds is dropped. These orange wire loops are intended to safely tether tools to workers at heights, but a failure could allow a tool to fall on bystanders. Consumers should stop using these attachments immediately and contact Ergodyne to receive a $4 credit per tool toward other Ergodyne products after returning the recalled items.
The wire attachment can snap when a tool is dropped while tethered, causing the tool to fall and potentially strike individuals below. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, the failure of this safety device poses a significant impact hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wire tool attachment and contact Ergodyne for a prepaid shipping label to return the product and receive a $4 refund per wire tool (up to $24 per six pack) in the form of a credit towards another Ergodyne product. Ergodyne is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Recall applies only to model 3705. These were also sold as part of kits numbered 3170, 3183, 3188, and 3189.
