Product description

Children's yellow and red life vest

See a list of details to help identify the product

Reason the product is recalled

The stitching of the grab strap attached to the back of the collar of the life vest may be inadaquate (batch 1201 only). The grab strap was added as an additional feature of the vest and it is not required for flotation.

The hazards to consumers

If the stitching of the grab strap tears and the strap separates from the collar of the vest, the wearer may fall back into the water. (Note that the flotation of the vest is unaffected, however.)

What consumers should do

Return the vest to the place of purchase for a full refund. If customers have any questions about the recall, they can contact Jarvis Walker on (08) 8244 8790.
