- Hazard
- The product has been assessed as presenting a serious risk of drowning as it was advertised as a life jacket, but once purchased was identified as buoyancy/swim aid (which do not provide the same level of protection). Also, the jacket did not meet the minimum buoyancy requirement.
- The products were not supplied with the required compliance documentation or markings to demonstrate that they have been adequately conformity assessed. Mandatory third-party conformity assessment by a body authorised for PPE is required by the relevant Regulations for those products which protect against more serious risks, the absence of such independent assessment for such a product may increase the risk to the consumer that the product may not perform as expected when relied upon as a buoyancy aid.
- The products do not meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on Personal Protective Equipment or the Personal Protective Equipment (Enforcement) Regulations 2018.
- Corrective action
- The product has been withdrawn from the market.
- The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Fruugo).
