Saw this in the Miami Herald a few days ago:

"SOSpenders is recalling approx. 7,200 automatic inflatable personal 
flotation devices because some of them won't inflate.

Only about 300 Hammar model MA1 manual/automatic inflators were loaded 
incorrectly, but the company is recalling all Hammar products for safety 
inspection.

The malfunction was discovered during in-house testing and the company 
immediately notified the Coast Guard, which issued the recall."

"West Marine sold the Millennium PFDs from March 5 through Aug. 13 for about 
$200 - $250."

I'm afraid the list of items and part numbers is way too long for me to type 
out, but it says that "all vests should be returned to SOSpenders."

"For information on disarming the vest and other return procedures...
call 800-858-5876  or go to www.sospenders.com
