DMM Product Safety Warning
IMPORTANT - DMM PRODUCT SAFETY WARNING - SEPTEMBER 2015
It has come to our attention that the locking mechanisms of some DMM locking carabiners are developing a dysfunction. In a small percentage of carabiners, the interaction between the internal coil spring (which gives the gate it's closing action) and the spring pusher (the component that holds the spring against the carabiner body) may cause the spring pusher to displace, potentially preventing the gate from closing or the mechanism from locking completely. This has raised obvious safety concerns, and we are taking this step to ensure the safety of the users of DMM carabiners. This only affects certain batches of the carabiners - please see the file below:-
