In collaboration with the BFU, the German Council for Accident Prevention, the manufacturer Edelrid is calling for the "Mega Jul" belay and abseiling devices (all batches from 2013 to 2023) to be checked. There is a risk of falling. This was announced by the BFU.
What is the danger posed by the affected products?
The reclining eyelet may have a defect. This defect is a change in the metal surface that is easily recognizable during a visual inspection. These surface changes can result in a reduction in strength, which is associated with a risk of falling for users.
What should affected consumers do?
Consumers who own one of these belay and abseiling devices are requested to stop using them and to contact us via the website of Edelrid about the necessary inspection.
