The recall notice is related to the 3F single point manual inflator in Life Jacket Solutions and Marlin life jackets.

The inflators are installed in a number of models of jacket across both companies, including models T150M, G150M, B150M, WB100, PR150M, and SRSS150 from Life Jacket Solutions, and model MK150 from Marlin.

The inflators in question are marked on the grey plastic part with “V96000 Halkey Roberts ®” and have a manufacture date between June 4, 2021 and April 15, 2024, which will be printed in the MM/DD/YY format.

“The indicator status on the inflator may show the life jacket is ready for use even when the attached gas cylinder is empty, removed or not connected properly,” Product Safety Australia said in its recall notice.

“The life jacket cannot inflate when this happens.”

This could lead to a potential risk of drowning, PSA said.

Anybody who has one of the affected jackets is urged to not use it and to return it to its place of purchase for a full refund.
