PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION

Barcode Number:03162420673602

The product was sold on Fruugo by an independent third party retailer.

WHY IS THIS PRODUCT DANGEROUS?

The product presents a risk of drowning because there is an issue with the deployment of the inflatable bladder, which can lead to the breach of the cover’s seams in rare cases when it is inflated. If the deployment is not compliant, it presents risks of strangulation for the user and would not provide the buoyancy required when in the water. The product does not meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on Personal Protective Equipment or the Personal Protective Equipment (Enforcement) Regulations 2018.
