Latest on DMM's camming device recall.

    The Welsh manufacturer of climbing equipment recently sent out an international product recall when one of its camming devices was discovered to have been manufactured with an inherent weakness that could undermine the integrity of the device when shock loaded.
    The company issued the following advice......

    DMM International has identified a raw material problem that may affect the strength on certain models of the Dragon Cam in size 6 (Product Code A7056A).
    This recall only involves the Dragon Cam in size 6 and no other sizes of Dragon Cam are involved.
    The problem originates from a structural defect in a raw material that is uniquely used to make a single component on the size 6 Dragon.

    The raw material involved is used to make the aluminium axle boss on the Dragon Cam in size 6. DMM International has discovered that the components made out of this defective material can develop cracks and that these cracks can grow and propagate with time. This could cause the units to fail below their rated strength.
    The units affected were made between the 28th April and the 30th June and there are 604 units in the market that could be affected.

     The affected units have one the following serial numbers. The serial number is located on the back edge of one of the two centre cam lobes.
    If you own a Dragon Cam 6 with a serial number listed below then you should immediately discontinue all use of this product.
    The product can be returned via your retailer or directly to DMM so that it can be replaced.
    If you would like to return your Dragon Cam 6 to us directly then please fill in a form below and we will send you a postage paid envelope.
    Please accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.
