No safety regulator has made a finding that the design of the Lad-Saf sleeve has caused injury or death in the ordinary or proper use of the product.
Hazard: Although our review did not reveal product hazard or risk scenarios that would arise in the ordinary and proper use of the product, it did reveal potential misuse scenarios that could result in serious injury or death.
