BFU: Minimax rurfs back breathing apparatus

In cooperation with the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention (BFU), Minimax AG recalls the respirator "Smoke protection mask for self-rescue". According to the company, there is a possible health hazard because the respirators in question are not functional. Thus the protection duration of 40 minutes declared for the emergency is not reached. There is a risk of being insufficiently protected in the event of an emergency. Affected customers will be refunded the purchase price in exchange for the return of the respirator.

Consumers who own any of the affected self-rescue respirators are asked to stop using them and return them to the following address, according to a news release from the Federal Consumer Affairs Bureau:
