CPSC, Kearney-National, Hapco Division Announce Recall of Flagpoles
04532 · Recalled 2004-01-20 · CPSC page
Description
These Internal Halyard flagpoles have a hinged door and a metal cable on the outside of the pole.
Hazards
A partially crimped sleeve on these flagpoles can allow the cable to pull through the sleeve, causing the loop to release. When the assembly is raised with no flag attached, it can allow a seven pound counter weight to drop to the ground, possibly hitting people nearby.
Reported injuries
Kearney-National is aware of three incidents of a counter weight falling, including with one incident resulting in a minor injury.
Remedy
Hapco is directly notifying consumers who purchased these flagpoles about the recall and providing free repair kits.
