The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued a product recall for several life jackets purchased from the online marketplace, Amazon.
Many of the products have been identified as presenting a serious risk of drowning as when tested, the product did not provide the required level of buoyancy. Owners are advised to cease use of the products and to contact the distributor they purchased them from to request redress. The listings have been removed from Amazon.
