The Office for Product Safety and Standards have announced the recall of eleven models of life jacket over safety concerns. The products were not supplied with the required compliance documentation or markings to demonstrate that they have been adequately conformity assessed.
The models of life jackets have been purchased by users via Amazon with brand names: NILIPEI, FLOATTOP, LIXONG, ROSOAMY, GRELANT, AJING, ZENING, STECTO, OMOUBOI, WELLPATH and Rrtizan.
The products do not meet the requirements of the PPE Regulation 2016/425 and as such, the Office for Product Safety and Standard recommend that owners stop using these products immediately. Owners are also recommended to contact the distributor to request redress.
The item listings have now since been removed by Amazon.

You can find guidance on fitting and maintaining your lifejacket or buoyancy aid on the Safety pages of the RYA website.
