Teufelberger is recalling about 95 units of CMC and New England Ropes brand static ropes and throwlines. These products are mislabeled as meeting specific NFPA safety standards when they do not, meaning they cannot be relied upon for rescue operations where safety certification is critical. The recall includes specific models of CMC Escape Line, New England Ropes Aramid, New England Ropes KM-III, and New England Ropes NFPA throwlines sold between January and September 2016. Consumers should immediately stop using these ropes and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.
The ropes are falsely labeled as meeting safety standards; if used in a rescue or high-stakes environment, they may fail or perform unexpectedly, leading to serious falls and injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ropes and throwlines and contact Teufelberger for a free replacement.
