What to do now
The hazard with Abuytwo Adult Swim Jackets is drowning: it may not keep someone afloat or safe in water.
- Stop using it in or near water.

Why it matters. Drowning is fast and silent. Bath seats, inflatables and swim aids can give a false sense of security.
Refunds, repairs and replacements
Contact the retailer or the brand using the details in the official notice. Keep your receipt, order confirmation or bank statement if you have one, but a recall remedy should not depend on it.
