Hazard

The product does not meet the relevant physical and mechanical safety requirements. There is a risk of drowning of the user as the stoppers are too long which could lead to inadvertent opening of the valves and when the plugs are open the device does not retain enough buoyancy. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Directive and with the relevant European standard EN 13138-1.

Product description
