The product, in the report: Deflect-o Hardware Dryer Vent Kit Model # SK8WFW Store SKU # 417629
I recently purchased a Deflect-o Hardware Dryer Vent Kit from Home Depot. When I tried to install it, the plastic zip ties included with the kit do not work properly. The zip ties are used to attached the duct to the dryer and vent pipe. The zip ties included with this kit do not hold tight or have the ability to come loose. This poses a huge health and safety risk! This product should be recalled for this reason!
