Nationwide Industries Recalls Trident Pool Gate Latches Due To Failure to Secure Hazardous Areas

14085 · Recalled 2014-01-22 · CPSC page

Description

The recalled magnetic gate latches are 10" or 20" models in black or white. They are marked with the "Trident" name and image on the face of the latch body below the key hole. The latch body, which is typically attached to a fence post, contains a knob and a key cylinder on the uppermost portion and a recessed area on the bottom portion designed to engage and retain the striker. The striker, which contains the magnet, is typically attached to the active gate portion of a fence gate assembly, and moves with the gate as it is opened and closed. The Trident Latches are frequently used to secure gates for pools.

Hazards

The magnet contained in the striker portion of the latch assembly can come loose, preventing the latch from securing a gate.

Reported injuries

No injuries were reported.

Remedy

Consumers should contact Nationwide Industries for a replacement striker kit that can be installed with a Phillips head screwdriver.
