Extreme Roof Bracket-V2

Extreme Bracket-V2 Upgrade

High Performance Upgrade

In September 2008 we voluntarily recalled a small batch of our Extreme roof brackets when we noticed that the tack welds on the pivot mechanism of the roof bracket had been inadventently ommited during the manufacturing process.

This ommision meant that there was a possibility that the pivot mechanism could potentially fail under load in the unlikely event that load displacement on the bracket was not uniformly applied

Failure could potentially occur in the unlikely event that the bracket was set or staged at an oblique angle.

Rather than compromise the SAFETY of our CUSTOMERS , we took the responsible approach of recalling this batch of faulty products and voluntarily recruiting the services of Health Canada to help us make consumers aware of this potential problem.

We were able to successfully recall and replace this batch of products from our distributors and customers and make significant improvement to the product without compromising customer safety.

Health Canada - Consumer Safety Recall Notice

Date
October 2008

Product Name
Extreme Roof Bracket

Full Product Description
The recalled product is sold in individual units or cases of 8 with the following UPC code: 6-27308-97238-1.

It is an adjustable roof bracket used on sloped roofs. The brackets hold up to a 0.6 m x 3 m (2 ft x 10 ft) board which is used as a working platform on the roof.

Hazard Identified
The recalled product can pose a fall hazard as some brackets were manufactured without tack welds on the pins that hold the adjustable mechanism in place. Only those brackets without the tack welds are included in this recall.

Tests by the manufacturer have found that there is a risk that the mechanism can fail when being used on steep pitches when considerable weight is being supported by the bracket.

Health Canada has not received reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians related to the use of this product.

Corrective Action
Consumers should immediately stop using the roof bracket.

Consumers may return the Extreme Bracket to the store where purchased in exchange for a new Extreme Bracket.

For additional information, consumers may contact Roofers World Inc. toll-free at 1-800-352-6147.

Number Sold
Approximately 3,247 of the recalled products were sold in Canada.

Time Period Sold
The recalled products were sold across Canada from March 31, 2008 to August 27, 2008.

Manufacturer
Roofers World Inc. of Ottawa, Ontario
