An official Product Safety NZ notice concerns Line7 170N Velcro Inflatable Lifejacket. The recall follows an advisory from American supplier, Halkey Roberts, (https://www.productsafety.govt.nz/recalls/halkey-roberts-3f-single-point-manual-inflator ) of potential failure during testing of the green/red indicator. This is reported as an occasional issue only affecting some units. Whilst the firing pin mechanism still functions, the indicator on some units may give a false reading e.g. Showing green when it should be red due to the cylinder not being screwed in correctly or having been pierced previously. As a result the lifejacket may not inflate as expected when it shows green. Risk that the lifejacket does not inflate as expected when the manual inflator is deployed. Published 2025-02-13.
