What this means for you

Plain-English summary

ZLP Manufacturing is recalling approximately 2,000 LP Hornet zip line trolleys. The recall is due to a defect in the T-shaped retaining pin that holds the yellow, triangular side plates together. The pin can be released by pushing a blue push-button on the end, which may cause the side plates to separate and the trolley to fall off the zip line, posing a fall hazard.

The affected trolleys were sold by ZLP Manufacturing online at www.zlpmanufacturing.com and www.backyardziplines.com from November 2010 through July 2013 for about $150. ZLP has received two reports of the trolley falling off a zip line when the retaining pin released, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled trolleys. They should contact ZLP Manufacturing toll-free at (888) 771-2579 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.zlpmanufacturing.com and click on the recall link to receive a free repair kit containing a replacement retaining pin.
