Multiple Buoyancy Aid and Life Jacket Recalls

We have been made aware of three product recalls for a lifejacket harness and two buoyancy aids and life jackets described as “swim vests” sold via the online marketplace Amazon, Decathlon and TK Maxx presenting a serious risk of drowning.

Triboard Life Jacket Harness

PSD Number: 2506-0147


The product presents a serious risk of drowning as under certain conditions (such as repeated impacts), the bladder may become punctured, which could result in reduced buoyancy.
The product does not meet the requirements of Regulation 2016/425 or the Personal Protective Equipment (Enforcement) Regulations 2018.


Full product recall information can be found here.



Children's Swim Vests

PSD Number: 2508-0139


The product has been identified as presenting a high risk of drowning as it is classed as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and was not supplied with the required compliance documentation or markings to demonstrate that it has 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 across a wide range of uses.
The products do not meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on Personal Protective Equipment.

Petiyark Neoprene Swim Vest

PSD Number: 2510-0107


The product has been assessed as presenting a risk of drowning as the buoyancy aid was accompanied with conflicting minimum or maximum sizing limits. Additionally, the front of one model is navy blue with no bright, conspicuous colours present, making it difficult for young children to be visible in the water.
The product was not supplied with the required compliance documentation or markings to be used correctly by a consumer, potentially resulting in a risk of drowning.
The product does not meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on Personal Protective Equipment.
