Notice to Inspect your TriTech Lanyard
Jun 21st 2022The issue
It has been brought to our attention that in one instance a Sterling Lanyard was missing a sewn tack under the plastic keeper. This resulted in the appearance of a factory sewn eye, when in fact it had no load bearing capacity. While Sterling believes this was an isolated incident, we are encouraging all customers to check their lanyards.
