Only Affects Lot Codes 12092430 through 18062730
3M Fall Protection has detected a small quantity of DBI-SALA® 16 Ft. Talon™ Self Retracting Lifelines that are defective due to an assembly error. This notice only applies to the 16 ft version of the Talon; no other versions of the Talon are affected by this condition. There have been no reports of fall-related injuries associated with this condition. However, this assembly error would result in the unit not arresting a fall, which could result in serious injury or death.
To remedy this situation, 3M is launching a global Stop Use & Recall Field Service Action to inspect, repair or replace all 16 ft. Talon Self-Retracting Lifelines with lot codes 12092430 through 18062730. Parts produced before or after this lot range are not affected by this notice.
Affected part numbers are: 3101041, 3101045, 3101046, 3101047, 3101048, 3101049, 3101050, 3101050C, 3101051, 3101051B, 3101051C, 3101052 & 3101054.
End-users: Immediately stop using and inspect all 16 ft Talons. If you find an affected 16 ft Talon, take the unit out of service immediately and contact a 3M Distributor or 3M directly by emailing sloges@mmm.com to return the unit. We will inspect the unit, and repair or replace and return your Talon™ at 3M’s expense.
