Platinum Excalibur Children's Life Vest (X-SM and SM)
Published 28 November 2012
Product
Children's yellow and red life vest Identifying features description Models 241000 and 241005 (batch code 1201) (PFD)
Why it was recalled
The stitching of the grab strap attached to the back of the collar of the life vest may be inadaquate (batch 1201 only). The grab strap was added as an additional feature of the vest and it is not required for flotation.
Hazard
If the stitching of the grab strap tears and the strap separates from the collar of the vest, the wearer may fall back into the water. (Note that the flotation of the vest is unaffected, however.)
