- 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 batches may crack from a hidden flaw. If one screw fails, others may fail too, causing things to fall.
Does this affect me? If you have bought these screws in Germany or France, stop using them right away.
What should I do? Take them back to where you bought them. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you have already used them and are worried.
