Flare recall

WesCom has issued a recall on their Aurora Orange Handsmoke. They are sold as single hand flares, and are contained in the Inshore Distress Flare Kit, and in the WA Offshore Kits.

The flares were sold nationally throughout Australia between 1 October 2020 and 30 November 2020. The flares under recall are marked Item Number 9539320, Lot numbers 060 to 061 inclusive.

It has been reported that smoke may vent from both the top and the bottom of the product, instead of venting just from the top causing the handle of the product to become hot.

If the flare vents incorrectly and becomes hot this may increase the risk of an injury. 

Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase where they may choose to have the product replaced free of charge, or a full refund.
