- Perigo
- The concrete screw anchors for use as multiple fasteners in non-load-bearing redundant systems can spontaneously fail owing 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 type of screw anchor used to hold things to concrete. It can break suddenly without warning.
What's happening? Some of these screws may crack due to a hidden flaw. If one breaks, others may fail too, causing things to fall.
Does this affect me? If you have these screws in Germany or Slovenia, check where they are used. They may be in walls, ceilings, or shelves.
What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a builder or a doctor if you were near any that might have fallen.
