Swim vests recalled for increased risk of drowning



Both the Little Tikes and Nautica swim vests and float set have been recalled by TJX Australia Pty Ltd as they don’t comply with the mandatory standard for swimming and flotation aids.

The warnings on the one-piece vests are not visible to supervising adult and the three-piece float does not bear the complete mandatory warning.

There’s an increased risk of drowning if the product is not used as intended and users may not be aware of important safety information about the use of the product.

Consumers should stop using the products immediately and return the products to a TK MAXX store for a full refund.

Contact TJX Australia via email at info@tjxaustralia.com.au or call 1300 768 913 from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday.
