Recall Details
This recall involves Practi-VALVES that are used to practice mouth-to-mouth resuscitation/CPR. The trainee connects the blue plastic air valve to a plastic mask, places it over the dummy’s mouth and blows through the valve to fill the dummy’s lungs with air. “WNL Products” is printed in white on the valves. This recall only involves valves in Lot 3197. “Lot 3197” is printed on the packaging. The valves measure 2.75 inches long by 1 inch wide and are disposable.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled valves and contact Work ‘N Leisure to return the valves for free replacements.
The firm has received three reports of the end-caps of the valves detaching from the Practi-Valve into consumers’ mouths or throats during CPR training.

Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
