Counterfeit EEBDs

Post by JK »

Some people are just plain scum!! The worst is, no one knows how many of these devices are in circulation.

U.S. Coast Guard has recently advised that counterfeit Unitor model UNISCAPE 15H EEBD emergency escape breathing devices (EEBDs) are being sold to ship operators and placed on board commercial vessels.

Boy that would suck to find out it did not work.
I go back to my ship next week will have to check out our EEBD's in the engine rooms.
Thanks for the information and taking the time to let us know about this.
