The HSI has been made aware of a Product Recall Notice issued by Honeywell Fall Protection France SAS for H500 series harnesses manufactured between 1 March and 30 June 2025 at the Nabeul, Tunisia production facility.
Affected products can be identified by their manufacturing date, article number and manufacturing location which are indicated on the product label.
Why is the product dangerous
The recall notice highlights that a limited number of units of the H500-Series Harnesses produced at the Nabeul, Tunisia facility between March and June last year may have been assembled with incorrect webbing routing through the front/sternal D-ring and/or leg buckles. As the notice points out, this poses "a serious safety risk". It goes on to explain that:
"This deviation may severely limit or even completely disable the safety function of the harness in the event of a fall from height. In specific circumstances, the front/sternal D-ring and leg buckles may not be able to withstand the necessary load requirements. This could result in serious, potentially fatal, injuries."
What to do next
Any dutyholder possessing these harnesses should review the product labels and remove from service and appropriately quarantine any harnesses meeting the recall criteria.
Further information, including contact details and available remedies for consumers, can be found on the Recall Notice.
