NOTICE: As alluded to in the caption, the Petzl Croll depicted in the upper right corner of the graphic is NOT the model affected by this safety notice—It is a current model. As mentioned in the headline, the Croll models affected are the B16 & B16AAA, both of which were manufactured in 2012, according to Petzel's customer information sheet at http://www.petzl.com/en/pro/safety-information-croll-B16AAA. A grainy enlargement of a Croll rope clamp Petzl included in its customer information sheet regarding this matter appears to the right.
