Acorn 120 Superglide straight stairlift
It is possible that the seat post weld may be defective.
HSL-3 M24 Zinc-Plated Heavy Duty Expansion Anchors
A manufacturing error may result in reduced loading capacity.
Glanz Mini Pioneer 43 Studio Lighting Kit
The circular flash tube has three electrodes that are live parts. A consumer may come into contact with live parts, especially when moving the lightning kit or replacing a light globe. In addition, instructions provided did not provide effective safety advice.
Edelrid Conecto, Conecto Small & Conecto Swivel Safety Bolts
It has been ascertained that some bolts were damaged and some bolts may have been replaced by users. In certain cases, those bolts replaced by consumers did not meet the required strength class.
Bebitz ASTM A350 LF2 Class 1 Flanges
The flange failed a low temperature fracture toughness test against the requirements of the ASTM A350 standard.
Two Post Vehicle Hoist
The vehicle hoist does not comply with certain electrical and mechanical requirements under the mandatory Australian Standard for vehicle hoists. The following issues have been identified: ELECTRICAL 1. 240V MOTOR MODELS: The limit switch wiring in some vehicle hoists manufactured and supplied between January 2009 and November 2011 contain two core wire cable. It is possible that, where an electrical short circuit occurs in this type of hoist, the two core wire may not provide adequate earthing. In addition, the plug and cable earth wire may have been cut during installation or not properly connected to the terminal inside the 240 volt motors. NOTE: This is the case for vehicle hoists with 240 volt motors only. All hoists supplied with 415 volt motors required wiring to be carried out by a licensed electrician on installation. As of November 2011, all 240 volt motor vehicle hoists have been supplied without the plug and cable wiring. All 240 volt motor vehicle hoists have since required a licensed electrician to properly wire the hoist prior to use. 2. ALL MODELS: The installation and operating manuals for the vehicle hoists may not adequately illustrate the required electrical wiring diagrams. MECHANICAL 3. ALL MODELS: There is a possibility that, if damage occurs to the hydraulic hose or if the hydraulic hose bursts, the hydraulic arms may be able to lower at a speed above the maximum set by the Australian Standard. In addition, the calculated stress loads measured in the vehicle hoist arms may exceed the maximum stress allowable under the Australian Standard.
WILHELM MAASS ASTM A350 LF2 Class 1 Flanges
In five (5) instances of product testing, the Flange failed a low temperature fracture toughness test against the requirements of the ASTM A350 standard.
Stitched Sheath for Bear Grylls Parang Machete
The Parang machete can cut through the stitching of the sheaths when the blade is taken from or replaced in the sheath. This is far more likely to occur when the Parang is inserted in the Stitched Sheath upside down; in fact, Gerber does not believe this issue can occur unless the Parang is taken from or replaced in the Stitched Sheath upside down.
Philips MASTER LED bulb 12-60W E27 2700K A60
A small quantity of product has been found to leak electrical current to the metal housing and could become live.
Jackeroo 240V Air Pump
Some pumps have internal damage to the electrical insulation in the cord, which is not always visible.
Fluke-28IIEX
Over time the plastic instrument case may develop cracks near the screws on the back of the unit.
37X Series Clamp Meters
A screw connecting the printed circuit assembly to the test lead input jack can work itself loose and result in intermittent voltage readings, including a ‘0’ reading when voltage is present.
Philips Master LED GU10 8W
A small quantity of product has been found to present electrical current leakage to the metal housing. This electrical current leakage can occur approximately half an hour after the lamp has been switched on and could result in the lamp becoming live.
Hornet Fixed Shade Welding Helmet
There are parts of the lens that do not darken when constant light is applied. These areas are located in the top corners of the lens.
2000 & 3000 Series Weigh Scale Indicators
Tru-Test Ltd has identified a problem with the batteries in older versions of the 2000 and 3000 series livestock weigh scale indicators. Standard NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries, such as the ones used in these indicators, can in certain circumstances emit small amounts of hydrogen gas. It is possible for pressure to build up over time and through some form of external trigger (such as static electricity), may result in the front panel of the indicator cracking with force.
Earth Leakage Protection Device (Regis RCBO Model RDL 7NL)
Some units may have a switching fault. The active conductor may not switch OFF even though the RCBO toggle is in the OFF position.
Mini-Mig 180 Welder
Due to a manufacturing assembly process error, the bracket holding the printed circuit board could pierce wires from the welding transformer.
Gerber "Bear Grylls" Parang Machete
A weakness in the area where the handle meets the blade can cause the handle or the blade to break during use.
KKT SL300HP Compression Head
The hydraulic cylinder housing may burst around its base, causing high pressure hydraulic oil to squirt into the air.
Echo Bearcat Log Splitter
Potential failure of the hydraulic cylinder may result in the end cap being ejected at speed.
