The flotation material in this kid's buoyancy vest provided insufficient support in the water

Product Safety Australia has posted a recall on its website for the Jetpilot Kids NeoVest purchased between August 1, 2017, and January 3, 2018. The personal flotation device is being recalled by the manufacturer as the model does not meet Australian Standards of buoyancy.

The defective buoyancy vest is the Neo Vest PFD model # HD211 with donning instructions in sizes 3-4, 4-6 and 8-10.

The recall notice (PRA No. 2018/16512) on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s website states that the product — does not comply with the minimum buoyancy requirements of the voluntary Australian Standard AS 4758.1:2015 for lifejackets.

The flotation material in the product provides insufficient buoyancy.

In an emergency situation, where the user enters the water, the product may not provide the required flotation for the user to stay above the waterline.

Consumers should immediately stop using the vest and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

For further information consumers can contact the supplier Jetpilot Australia on 07 5665 8333 or customerservice@jetpilot.com.
