New Life Jacket Label Infographic

How to Read the Label

Did you know there is a new life-jacket label? The label is being phased in, and you may see it printed on the inside of a new life jacket. The new label DOES NOT make obsolete life jackets with the old label. Always look for a life jacket that is U.S. Coast Guard approved.

Remember, the best life jacket is one you wear! Your life jacket should be appropriate for water activity and in good condition. Life jackets with a tear, broken pieces or buoyancy loss should be disposed.

Life Jacket Label Flyer

This educational flyer is helpful for communicating with recreational boaters about selecting (and wearing) a life jacket. It gives an overview of icons on the new life jacket label – performance level, turn ability, and warnings – as well as other helpful information.

These front-back flyers are full-color, 3.5″ x 8.5″, and ship in a pack of 200. This is a great handout for events, trainings, and vessel safety checks. Estimated to ship by September 1.
