- 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? This is a metal screw made by SPAX for holding light things to concrete walls. It can suddenly snap without warning.
What's happening? Some of these screws may crack because of a hidden flaw. If one breaks, the extra weight can make the next screw break too, like a row of falling dominoes.
Does this affect me? If you have these screws holding shelves, lights, or other light items on a concrete wall in Germany or France, they could fail and let things fall.
What should I do? Stop using them right away and ask a builder or your local hardware shop for safe replacement screws.
