ZLP Manufacturing is recalling about 2,000 Hornet zip line trolleys because the T-shaped retaining pin can accidentally release. If the pin releases, the two side plates of the trolley can separate and cause the unit to fall off the zip line while in use. These trolleys feature yellow triangular side plates with "ZLP Hornet" cut into them and were sold online at zlpmanufacturing.com and backyardziplines.com between November 2010 and July 2013 for approximately $150.
The retaining pin holding the trolley together can dislodge, causing the device to fall off the cable. This poses a serious fall hazard to riders, and there have already been two reports of the trolley falling off zip lines.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled trolleys and contact ZLP manufacturing to receive a free repair kit containing a replacement retaining pin.
