2/16/11 - On February 15, 2011, DMM received information from a U.S retailer regarding size 5 (blue) Dragon Cams. They have found cracks on the alumimum axle boss on two of the size 5 Dragon Cams they have in stock. This boss is a turned part similar to the original Dragon 6 that we recalled on the July 22. 2010.
For the safety of all of our customers, we are issuing an immediate recall for all Dragon Cams size 4 and 5 with turned axle bosses (see images below). At present, there is no evidence that suggests the size 4 Dragon Cams are affected. However, we feel it appropriate to include them in the recall due to similarities in construction.
