Mustang Survival has voluntarily recalled all model MD2010 and MD2012, 22-pound buoyancy inflatable personal flotation devices (PFDs) sold in the United States in 2011.

Mustang PFDs without white, sewn-on safety labels that are also missing the MIT stamp above the CO2 cyclinder should be returned to the company. Those PDFs with the MIT stamp do not need to be returned.

The company has added a page to its Web site with photographs of the affected PFDs.

“This recall is being issued for the inspection and repair of an inflater installation inconsistency that may prevent some units from fully inflating,” the company states on its Web page. “Mustang Survival has developed a solution that corrects any affected product and prevents re-occurrence of this issue. The inspection and repair can only be performed at a Mustang Survival factory.”

The company expects testing and repair to take no more than four weeks. For shipping instructions, call 1-800-526-0532. Mustang Survival will pay for all testing, repair and shipping costs.
