UL Solutions Warns of Mislabeled Child Life Jackets
NORTHBROOK, Ill., December 10, 2025--UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, today issued a warning that a limited run of Kent Watersports CSF-2 child life jackets was mislabeled by the manufacturer to indicate both 50–90 lbs. (23–41 kg) and under 50 lbs. (23 kg) weight ranges, even though they are certified only for children under 50 lbs. (23 kg), creating a risk of overloading, reduced buoyancy and potential danger to users.
