As a result of our precautionary call for a safety check in this matter published on 14.11.2023, a further device was identified with a defect in the follower's loop, which does not originate from batch 04/20.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that there may be other units from other batches with defects in circulation.
The defects are manufacturing imperfections that are easily detected by visual inspection, such as a crack. The changes in the metal structure are usually superficial but can also result in a reduction in strength.
Please check your EDELRID MEGA JUL as follows:
Visually inspect the surface of the metal body, in particular the follower's loop, for deviations such as creases, ridges, cracks, or similar.
Examples of possible defects on the MEGA JUL:
Devices with comparable surface changes must not be used. If you discover a defect when checking your device, please contact our customer service team by email: [email protected]. You will receive a return slip that you can use to return your MEGA JUL to us for inspection free of charge.
Devices that have a ridge or edge (manufacturing burr) at this location, as shown here, can still be used.
1. Can such a defect occur later during use?
No. The steel used is extremely tough; after the manufacturing process, the structure cannot be altered by mechanical influences.
