The Warehouse recalls boating kit

The Warehouse has recalled an emergency boating kit because of concerns that torch batteries in the kit might not work.

The Wild River Boater's emergency kit, purchased between September 2007 and May 2009, may have faulty Royal extra heavy duty batteries.

The kit also contains a first aid kit, rope, tools, knife, thermal blanket and other safety gear.

The Warehouse said today that customers should take the kit to one its stores to get a full refund, with or without a receipt, as well as the option to receive replacement batteries.

The batteries should be checked before anyone goes out on the water with the kit.
