What is the hazard with Product Recall: Emerson Sempell GmbH Valve Fastener (2509-0175)?

Product Recall: Emerson Sempell GmbH Valve Fastener (2509-0175) (Sempell) was announced earlier this year, in the "Fastener for Valve Assemblies – Nuts (Fixings/Fasteners)" category. The product presents a serious risk of injury as the product specifications require that zinc-plating is used on the fasteners. Testing confirmed that cadmium-plating had been used during the manufacturing process. There is a risk that the incorrect plating on the fasteners can cause the bolt to fracture at temperatures exceeding 232°C which could result in process leakage, serious injury or property damage. The Fasteners do not comply with the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 and the applicable standards, EN 10204-3.1 and EN 10204-3.2 This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
