Crewsaver issues lifejacket safety warning

Crewsaver has announced that its lifejacket servicing department has detected a problem with United Moulders’ Mk3 Standard Automatic Head that was fitted to Crewsaver Crewfit and Survivor inflatable lifejackets manufactured prior to 1997.

Tests indicate that this component is now at the end of its safe and usable life and should be replaced.

“It is essential that the head replacement be undertaken by Crewsaver and on no account should you attempt to replace this yourself,” says the company.

Crewsaver strongly recommends that owners of Crewsaver Crewfit or Survivor lifejackets with an Mk3 Standard Automatic Head fitted to contact Crewsaver on Tel 44 (0)2392 528621 or email sales@crewsaver.co.uk to discuss the replacement process.
