Stop Use and Action Notification - Select 3M™ DBI-SALA® Sealed-Blok™ Self-Retracting Lifelines

Description of Incident

As part of 3M’s ongoing commitment to delivering high quality products, we are notifying our customers of the following

information related to select 3M™ DBI-SALA® Sealed-Blok™ Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs). 3M Personal Safety Division

has identified an aging effect that may impact the performance of the 3M DBI-SALA® Sealed-Blok™ SRLs produced from

January 2022 to October 2024. Additionally, any devices repaired by 3M, or an authorized service center (ASC), during this

timeframe may also be affected. Through laboratory testing, 3M has determined that in the event of a fall, these devices

may not lock up as designed which could expose the worker to serious injury or death. There have been no reports of

injuries associated with this issue. Affected sizes are all variants of the 85 ft (~26M), 130 ft (~40M), and 55 ft (~17M)

self-retracting lifelines, see appendix for the full list of models impacted by this stop use notice.

Due to this, we are sending out this Stop Use and Recall / Replace or Remediate Notice, so the select 3M DBI-SALA®

Sealed-Blok™ Self-Retracting Lifelines are removed from service immediately. 3M is working towards having replacement

product and remediation solutions available soon. Failure to read and follow all instructions associated with this Notice may

result in serious injury or death of a user. Instructions for appropriate next steps are below.
