As part of 3M Fall Protection’s on-going commitment to delivering high quality safety equipment, we are notifying our customers of the following information related to the 3M™ PROTECTA® PRO-Stop™ Single Leg & Pro™ Pack Twin Leg Shock Absorbing Lanyard portfolios.

We are not aware of any accidents or injuries related the condition described above. We have not received any customer complaints regarding this but have identified it through an internal review.
