ETAC A/S recalled 25 units of the Molift 4-point sling bars on November 17, 2025, due to a defect that can lead to improper functionality.

This recall affects products distributed worldwide, including the United States and several European countries.
A customer experienced that during assembly and load testing of the device, the bolt for mounting the lifting bar broke.
