DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT


Posted on: 2003-02-05
Description
Bell automotive safety hammers identified as life-saving escape and rescue tool.  These hammers were intended to be used as an instrument to shatter automotive safety glass in the event of an emergency.  However, the plastic handle was not designed to withstand the force required to shatter automotive glass.

Consequence
As a result, the plastic ribs, which hold the safety hammer's metal heads, can break upon use, rendering the hammer no longer able to perform as intended.  

Corrective Action
Bell will reimburse customers who have purchased the safety hammer.  Notification began february 20, 2003.  Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bell at 480-991-5055.

Notes
Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
