Over 20,000 paddle boards sold at Costco got recalled. They might cause users to drown
Paddle boards are supposed to hold you up — not pose a threat of drowning. That’s why Surf 9 recalled about 20,300 Body Glove Tandem and ULI inflatable paddle boards and supyaks sold exclusively at Costco warehouses across the United States and Canada.
As the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission report states, “The glue on the inflatable paddle boards can separate at the seams and the paddle boards can deflate unexpectedly, posing a drowning hazard.”
Surf 9 knows of three Body Glove boards deflating, but no injuries.
This involves Body Glove Tandem Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Boards; ULI Inventor Inflatable Paddle Boards; ULI Zettian Inflatable Supyaks; and ULI Lila Inflatable Supyaks.
Surf 9, a company based in Bonita Springs, Florida, is eating the cost on this and offering refunds. Return the paddle boards or supyaks to Costco or contact Surf 9 for refund instructions at 866-696-9257, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time, or by emailing recall@surf9.com.
