SpeeCo has recalled approximately 60,000 fence wire stretchers (models S16111500, S161115TSC, and S16112000) due to a defect where wires can unexpectedly release from the tool. There have been two reports of recoiling wires causing cuts, abrasions, and scratches to users. These black tools with rubber-gripped lever handles were sold at Ace and True Value hardware stores, farm ranch stores, and Amazon.com between April 2015 and August 2016. Consumers should stop using the stretchers immediately and contact SpeeCo for a full refund.
A wire being tightened can suddenly slip or release from the stretcher and recoil with significant force. This recoiling wire can strike the user or bystanders, causing lacerations, deep cuts, and other injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fence wire stretchers and contact SpeeCo to receive a full refund.
