THe CPSC and NRS are recalling approximately 1,000 NRS Sea Kayak Paddle Floats. The plastic tubes used to inflate the paddle float could break and deflate, posing a drowning hazard to consumers. NRS has received five reports of paddle floats breaking and deflating. No injuries have been reported.
The NRS Sea Kayak Paddle Float is an inflatable device that
is attached to one side of the paddle to help the kayaker re-enter the
kayak in open water. The paddle float is yellow and black and measures
15″ wide by 28″ long, before inflation. The NRS logo is on one side.
This recall involves those paddle floats with inflation tubes that are
clear or translucent. Paddle floats with black tubes are not included.
The floats were sold at NRS stores nationwide and NRS catalogs from July 2006 through
March 2007 for about $40.
