On one of these forums I remember reading a posting re inflatable life vests and the "hammar" injector?
I queried BOATUS who supplied the following information regarding these devices, which might be of
interest.
The "Hammar" mechanisms were the subject of a recall by inflatable
manufacturer SOS, Inc. Information about the recall follows and more info is
posted on the company's web site, which is listed below.
* RECALL #020154T
Inflatable PFD Models: 38HSTD-M-W; 38HSTD-M; 38HHAR-M-W; 38HHAR-M; 38CMH;
38HPRO-M; CMH38ARP; 38HTV/9; 38HTV/9-CG; 38HSTDM/7; 38HUL/9 (7,200 units)
Some Hammar model MA1 manual/automatic inflators used on SOSpenders
automatic inflatable personal flotation devices may be defective and will
not inflate PFDs with CO2 either automatically or manually. Consumers should
stop using these PFDs immediately. Affected PFDs can be identified by the
yellow Hammar MA1 inflator cap.
For instructions on how to disarm PFDs, visit the SOS, Inc., web

the Hammar inflation unit, call customer service, 800-858-5876. After the
