St. Paul, MN — Work and safety gear manufacturer Ergodyne has issued a safety recall of more than 17,000 wire tool attachments that may present an injury hazard.

The affected product, the Squids 3705 Wire Tool Attachments – Screw Gate Tool Tail, is sold in packs of six or as part of kits that have “Model 3705” printed on a black front tag. Although no injuries have been reported, Ergodyne says the wire tool attachment “can break when dropped while tethered to a tool exceeding 2 pounds, posing an injury threat to bystanders.”

Affected users should stop using the recalled tool attachments immediately. Users can contact Ergodyne to receive a prepaid shipping label to return the product and receive a $4 refund per wire tool, up to $24, as a credit toward another company product.

Users can call Ergodyne toll free at (800) 522-0520 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern on weekdays, or email [email protected]. Visit ergodyne.com/product-recalls for more information.
