Hazard

The product has been assessed as presenting a risk of drowning as the buoyancy aid was accompanied with conflicting minimum or maximum sizing limits. Additionally, the front of one model is navy blue with no bright, conspicuous colours present, making it difficult for young children to be visible in the water. The product was not supplied with the required compliance documentation or markings to be used correctly by a consumer, potentially resulting in a risk of drowning. The product does not meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on Personal Protective Equipment.

Remedy

The local authority is requiring the recall of the product from end users by Petiy-UK. We recommend owners stop using this product immediately. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
