Drowning
The risk is associated with models with the yellow insert valve in the oral inflatable tube. The product poses a risk of drowning because the air could leak from the oral tube, or the yellow insert valve could blow out, releasing the buoyancy air in the lifejacket. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Directive (PPE) and the European standard EN ISO 12402. |
