Re: Product Recall— Bulk Storage Racking Shelf Beams
Bulk Storage Beams
Dear Customer:
We have been informed that our manufacturer of Bulk Storage Racking has issued a voluntary recall for Bulk Storage Beams manufactured between May 15, 2019, and July 10, 2019. Our records indicate that you purchased Bulk Storage Racking from Uline that may be affected by this recall. Please refer to the chart on the following page.
Our manufacturer discovered that the automated robotic welding system used for the Bulk Storage Beams could, on rare occasions, weld incorrectly. The weld bead that connects the beam and beam ends may not be centered along the seam between the components, leaving gaps or bubbling in the weld. As a result, the beam may fail when loaded. Please note, the uprights, particle boards/wire decking and shelf supports are not affected.
You can determine whether you have a defective beam by reviewing the examples provided in the Bulk Storage Beams Weld Reference Guide included with this letter.
Please remove product from your Bulk Storage Racking and inspect your beams immediately. In the event that you find your product to be defective or have any questions regarding this voluntary recall, please contact Uline’s Customer Service Department at 1-800-295-5510 or customer.service@uline.com for information on how to receive a replacement beam.
