Just had this e-mail sent by Marinestore:

We have today received an urgent safety recall for a bosun´s chair issued by Plastimo/XM Yachting. There is a potential fault on a component of this product which could result in personal injury through it´s complete failure. This product has been in production since 2000 and all chairs are subject to the recall


A picture and description of the product can be found by clicking here

- go to Page 18 or the PDF


The product code is either BC (early) or 176856.

If you know of anyone who has or may own one of these, please return it to wherever it was purchased from or to your nearest Plastimo/XM stockist for a refund.
 
hmmm yes had this email also, and think i have this chair too. Never opened it so it will be going back for the refund. Which is great cos i bought one of those mast climbing pieces of kit and didnt need the chair anyway! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Has there been any more publicity about this? I bought one of these 3 years ago from a chandler 300 miles from where I live! I emailed XM to ask for confirmation of the recall but they haven't deigned to reply. If I just take it to my nearest chandler will they refund me for something I didn't buy from them?
 
To correct myself, I actually tendered the query via their website which probably wasn't the best way. Anyway I heard from them today and they are going to arrange carrier pickup at my convenience for a technical upgrade, whatever that means. Just posting this to set the record straight.
