Gorilla Inc. Recalls EXO-Tech Safety Harness Due to Fall Hazard
Gorilla Inc., of Flushing, Mich.
Hazard
The webbing of the waist belt on the safety harness is not routed through the lineman's loop located on the front of the harness near waist level. Since the loops are not properly anchored to the harness webbing but are attached only through stitching not intended to restrain a user during a fall, they that can pull away from the harness when force is applied, leaving the user unrestrained.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the harness and contact Gorilla Inc. to receive a refund.
Sold at
Cabelas, Bass Pro and at various sporting goods stores nationwide from May 2009 to August 2009 for about $200.
