Affected Halkey Roberts inflator mechanism V96000 located inside the outer cover on your Line 7 170N Velcro Inflatable Lifejacket (Pink, Blue, Camo or Charcoal).

The Hazard!
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.
What to do...
- Check if your lifejacket contains the affected inflator mechanism.
- Use an alternative lifejacket if your life jacket is affected or take steps to reset your lifejacket (www.hutchwilco.co.nz/recall)
- Visit www.hutchwilco.co.nz/recall and follow the 3 simple steps to get your lifejacket remedied.
