Big Dee's recalling snaffle bits

Return Home
April 16, 2009 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Big Dee's has announced it was recalling snaffle bits after it recently came to their attention that there have been reported cases of half cheek snaffle bits that have broken while in use. Big Dee's is urging everyone to please check your bits immediately. If you have a bit that has “play” between the mouthpiece and the cheeks please discontinue use immediately.

"In an attempt to keep all of our customers informed and safe we are doing a voluntary recall of these snaffle bits.

"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.

"The voluntary recall has been expanded to cover the #911 Frisco June leather covered snaffle bits. The #432 snaffle bits were used in the manufacture of the leather covered Frisco June style bits. Please inspect all Frisco June snaffle bits purchased from us between January of 2005 and December of 2007. If you have a bit that has “play” between the mouthpiece and the cheeks please discontinue use immediately and contact Big Dee's Customer Service department for further information at 1 (800) 321-2142." (Big Dee's)
