No incident, no one hurt Made Jun 18, 2025, sent to the company Jun 24, 2025, published by CPSC Jul 9, 2025
The product, in the report: The product is marketed and sold as 1000 lb Paracord 100% Nylon utility rope. It is manufactured and distributed by a seller named [REDACTED] on Amazon.com. The rope is advertised for emergency, survival, outdoor, and load-bearing applications. Product Variants: ASIN B0B1N3HS5V (Green) ASIN B0B1N7T1J8 (Black) ASIN B0B1N18LH1 (Blue) among others The rope is typically sold in spools or coils of varying lengths (often 100 ft), packaged in clear plastic wrap, and mounted on a cardboard spool. The packaging often includes printed claims stating the paracord has a 1,000 lb breaking strength and is composed of 100% nylon. However, independent laboratory testing conducted by [REDACTED] in June 2025 found the rope was composed of 100% polyester, not nylon, and had breaking strengths ranging from 789 to 876 lbs, well below the advertised 1,000 lb capacity. These misrepresentations of fiber content and tensile strength create a serious safety hazard, particularly for consumers using the rope for critical survival or emergency scenarios where strength and material reliability are essential. Photos, lab reports, and additional documentation will be submitted separately to the CPSC Clearinghouse via email.
Independent third-party laboratory testing conducted by [REDACTED] in June 2025 revealed that multiple paracord rope products sold by the Amazon seller [REDACTED] were falsely advertised as having a 1,000 lb breaking strength and being made of 100% nylon. Testing confirmed significantly lower strength ratings and revealed that the material is 100% polyester. These discrepancies present serious safety risks for consumers relying on this product for survival, emergency, or load-bearing purposes.
What type of product(s) were being used? Paracord rope marketed and sold as 1000 lb Paracord and 100% Nylon on Amazon.com by seller [REDACTED].
Specifically: B0B1N3HS5V (Green) B0B1N7T1J8 (Black) B0B1N18LH1 (Blue)
Who was using the product(s)? This product is marketed to and available to the general public through Amazon.com. It is commonly used by outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, emergency preparedness professionals, and general consumers.
How were the product(s) being used? These types of paracord products are generally used for emergency situations, securing gear, climbing, rigging, survival situations, and load-bearing applications, based on their labeled tensile strength and material.
Were there any injuries that happened or may have happened while using the product? No known injuries have been reported at this time. However, the risk of injury is substantial due to the false claims regarding load-bearing capacity and material composition. Consumers relying on this rope under emergency or weight-bearing conditions may experience catastrophic failure that could result in serious injury or death.
How did any injuries occur? N/A no specific injuries documented at this time. However, the danger stems from reliance on misrepresented product specifications that could lead to equipment failure in high-risk situations.
