- Risque
- The concrete screws for use as multiple fasteners in non-load-bearing redundant systems can spontaneously fail due to hydrogen embrittlement. The weight they support is transferred to adjacent screws, which have the same potential defect and can also break. A zipper effect and thus a system failure must be expected. People can be injured by falling parts.

What is this? These are metal screws used to hold things to concrete. They can suddenly break without warning.
What's happening? Some of these screws may crack from a hidden flaw. If one breaks, the extra weight can make others break too.
Does this affect me? If you have these screws in your home or workplace, parts could fall and hurt someone.
