FOLO-UP Product Recall: 2401-0117 Sailtrek Red, Black and Grey Life Jacket Vest sold via eBay
A red, black and grey vest style buoyancy aid with centre zipper and adjustable leg straps.
Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The product has been assessed as presenting a serious risk of drowning. The product was advertised as a life jacket, but once purchased was identified as a buoyancy aid (which does not provide the same level of protection). When tested, the product did not meet the level of buoyancy required of a buoyancy aid, and therefore may not have performed as expected when relied upon. The product also requires improvements to marking, labelling and documentation.
