Pains Wessex has just expanded its previously announced recall of its white collision warning (MK7) hand flare to a TOTAL recall. This is item No. 52651. The recall is a result of injuries suffered during flare ignition and these flares should not be used. No red MK7 flares are affected. Additional detail can be found at _www.painswessex.com_ (http://www.painswessex.com/) and likely at your local chandlery or marine store where you purchased the collision flares.
