from Big Dee’s Tack

Streetsboro, OH — It has recently come to our attention that there have been reported cases of half cheek snaffle bits that have broken while in use. In an attempt to keep all of our customers informed and safe we are doing a voluntary recall of these snaffle bits.

It is virtually impossible at this time to determine where these bits have come from. People have had them in their barns over the years and are uncertain of their age or origin.

We are asking that you please return the bits you purchased from us and we will replace your bits with brand new bits.

We began purchasing the bits we currently stock in March of 2007. These bits are manufactured using a different process and are of superior quality to the broken bits we have seen.

Please be sure you check all the bits in your barn regularly. The pin that connects the mouth piece to the cheek is what has broken in the bits we have seen. If you have “play” between this part of your bit please return it to us for replacement.

Your safety is very important to us. Please check your bits immediately. If you find bits with excess “play,” discontinue use and contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-321-2142 for return and replacement information.
