Possibly Dangerous Chain - PLEASE be careful!! - 03/28/12 07:03 PM
WARNING - GRAPHIC PHOTOS OF SURGICAL PROCEDURE IN THIS ALBUM! BEWARE SUGAR GLIDER OWNERS - UNSAFE CHAIN!!
This chain was purchased from Mr. Chain by Davie of Spoiled Rotten Suggies. (PLEASE NOTE: Davie is NOT responsible in ANY way for this issue!! This is a MANUFACTURING ERROR and not an assembly error!) Davie had previously advised Mr. Chain's service agent (Shirley) about the chain, and was advised that their chain quality was decreasing because the chains are being made from old molds... this results in SHARP POINTS (aka burs) on the ends of the links and some links are actually arriving to Davie ATTACHED (almost melted together Davie says) to one another. If the burs (points) are not removed with nippers or a Dremel tool BEFORE USE IN GLIDER TOYS, your gliders could be cut, poked, scratched, stabbed, or otherwise injured, possibly resulting in self mutilation as happened to my Dayana this morning. Davie already does this... but the toy that possibly injured Dayana was made BEFORE the problem was noticed and addressed with Mr. Chain. Davie is aware of this problem - she has contacted Mr. Chain again today asking if their molds have been replaced yet, as she was promised previously that they would be. I am sure she will be along to post once she gets a response from them. In the meantime, PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! If you use this chain (named "Gothic Chain") or any chain from Mr. Chain for that matter (just to be safer) PLEASE check the ENDS of EACH LINK for burs (points) and nip them off or file them down before use!
