The 'urgent' press releases from Crewsaver to recall the United Moulders' Mk3 Standard Automatic Head fitted to Crewfit and Survivor inflatable lifejackets .... manufactured prior to 1997 ... has a slight whiff of advertising about it, doesn't it?

"Tests indicate that this component, which was fitted to Crewfit and Survivor lifejackets manufactured before 1997, is now at the end of its safe and usable life and should be replaced.
Crewsaver insists it’s essential that the head replacement be undertaken by the company. ‘On no account should you attempt to replace this yourself,’ said Crewsaver.

The company strongly recommends that owners of Crewfit or Survivor lifejackets with an Mk3 Standard Automatic Head fitted should contact Crewsaver on + 44 (0)2392 528621 or email sales@crewsaver.co.uk to discuss the replacement process"

Uhm, 'to discuss the replacement process' means send it back for a new one and we'll charge you, doesn't it?
 
Possible, but I have always found Crewsaver very reasonable to deal with and not at all money-grabbing.

I wonder how much they charge for overall and replacement head unit. If it's too much ppl will just buy something else.
