Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Work 'N Leisure has recalled approximately 10,000 Practi-VALVE training valves used for CPR training. The end-cap on these blue plastic valves can detach while in a person's mouth, posing a serious choking hazard. The firm has received three reports of these caps detaching into the mouths or throats of trainees. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected valves and contact the company for free replacements.

Risk

The end-cap of the valve can unexpectedly break off or detach while a trainee is blowing into it during CPR practice. If this occurs while the valve is in or near the mouth, the trainee can inhale or swallow the small plastic piece, potentially leading to choking or airway obstruction.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using any Practi-VALVE training valves in your possession and remove them from training kits.
  2. Identify the affected products by checking for 'WNL Products' printed in white on the blue valve body and 'Lot 3197' printed on the white outer packaging.
  3. Verify the UPC code 854579001247 on the 10-pack or 50-pack bags to confirm if they are part of the recall.
  4. Contact Work 'N Leisure to return the recalled valves for free replacements by calling 800-884-9629 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by emailing john@wnlproducts.com.
