Reported risk: This recall involves the Exterior Gate Closer Model 1350. The affected gate closer is affixed to external gates and has a body that is approximately 6.5 inches long, with a sliding arm that is about 3 feet in width when extended. The unit is marked on the side of the body with "MAB/ASSA ABLOY." The recall only includes units produced between January 2014 and December 2015. The unit's production date is stamped on the side of the gate closer body in a "week/year" format and can be accessed by removing the body's plastic housing. Hazards: The gate closer mechanism can break and eject metal pieces including the spring or it can spray oil, posing a risk of injury.
