It says the Northern Diver 275N twin chamber life jacket (model numbers LS600, LS6100, LS6200) has been identified as presenting a high risk of drowning to the wearer.

The office adds that the adult-sized life jacket has not undergone conformity assessment as PPE, it is not CE- or UKCA-marked and there is no Declaration of Conformity as PPE.

Owners of the above product are advised to stop using the life jackets and contact the distributor they purchased it from or contact Northern Diver. You can also visit the Product Safety Alerts, Reports and Recalls page on the GOV.UK website for further information.
