LIFEJACKET MARKETED TO THE COMMERCIAL SECTOR AND OFFSHORE INDUSTRY IS HEREBY RECALLED

Baltics lifejackets Legend 165 M.E.D SOLAS and Legend 305 M.E.D SOLAS both with and without integrated safety harness certified to the SOLAS standards marketed to the commercial sector and offshore industry is hereby recalled due to a potential risk in the placement of the Buddy Line on the lifejacket.

The Buddy Line is a 1,5 meter line used by two or more distressed persons to connect themselves to each other. During a routine test of the Buddy Line it showed that the lifejackets air chamber in worst case can be damaged and punctured due to the placement of the Buddy Line.

Baltic have developed a replacement kit that is easy to attach to the waistbelt of the lifejacket on all affected models. This replacement kit eliminates the risk of damaging the air chamber if the Buddy Line is used, the function of the Buddy line remains unchanged. There is no risk to the wearer that the main function, inflation of the lifejacket upon immersion in water, will not work.

We apologize for the incident and any concern this may cause. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, please contact productrecall@baltic.se or +46050636990
