Drowning
The product poses a risk of drowning of small children because the armbands' valves cannot block the air flow as a result of which the air freely leaks out of the armband. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Directive and with the relevant European standard EN 13138-1. |
Compulsory measures: Ban on the marketing of the product. |
