Product recall: Burke Marine

By IBI Magazine

Australia's Burke Marine has issued a voluntary recall of its Deluxe and Standard Bosun Chairs that were purchased nationally after July 2007 that do not display either a production batch number or inspection label.

Several Bosun chairs that were manufactured between July and August 2007 may have been be fitted with a defective stainless steel lifting ring that, when used, could split or break, causing injury or death.

Burke says that due to the potential danger to users and uncertainty when the Bosun chairs may have been purchased, the product recall applies to all Burke Bosun chairs sold after June 2007.

Anyone who has purchased a Burke Bosun chair after July 2007 is advised to cease using it and contact Burke P/L to organise for free inspection and load testing of the stainless steel lifting ring.
