ASP has determined that a small number of Ultra Plus Handcuffs have internal lock sets that may malfunction under certain circumstances, and is offering replacement parts for affected restraints, at no cost. These parts are easily user-installed.
This issue relates to a very small percentage of removable Ultra Plus single pawl lock sets from specific/known production runs between 2022 and 2023. All available information suggests that the incidence rate of this failure is between 0.5% and 1%. However, ASP takes even one failure or potential failure seriously, so we will, at no cost whatsoever, replace any lock sets that fall within the known at-risk dates and lots. These include those in-use by agencies and/or officers in the field, and those still in our distributors’ inventory.
If you own one or more pair of single pawl Ultra Plus Cuffs (easily identified by the yellow keyless double lock button—no other handcuffs are affected), click below for full details and instructions on how to determine if this voluntary recall might apply to you.
