Check your lifejacket

[fisherman]

I hear there has been a batch of auto lifejackets found to be faulty, a leak due to a sharp corner on the top-up tube cap. Several have been found with a leak in the same place. I won't give the brand until I'm sure of it, but problem is these are new and many haven't been opened and tested.

Lifejacket recall. These were recently sold on Amazon and have been recalled but are still available on other UK websites selling Chinese crap.

No third-party testing carried out and so not compliant with any standard.
