Safety vests for school children in Germany

The ADAC brings reflective safety jackets which he distributed to primary schools in South Westphalia. The reflective tape withholds their services. The material damage is apparently at several million Euros.

The safety vests, which the ADAC has also distributed to primary schools in South Westphalia, have a dark spot. That is why the “Yellow Angel” brings back the jackets.

“We have ordered together with Deutsche Post and the action, Eon Hers fur kinder ‘safety vests for all children starting school in Germany,” says ADAC spokesman Andreas Hazel, “so that the school for the youngest road users will be safer.”

Also the ADAC Westphalia asked for all elementary schools from Dortmund to Siegen, who wants to distribute the yellow safety vests to his I-Dote at the beginning of the dark season in South Westphalia. Almost all schools accepted the offer.

“A well-known manufacturer of safety clothing” says Andreas Hazel, – – Consequently, the traffic experts left the West directed by CWS boo produce in China. In order to guarantee the quality of the jackets, the ADAC went to “play it safe”. He asked the company CWS boo to an extensive certification of yellow bedspreads. In addition, TÜV Rhineland tested in Shanghai, the quality of the clothing on the spot. “Here, the safety vests all the tests and also the final full test passed,” says Andreas Hazel.

Extradition could walk across the stage. Each Gaul of ADAC was supplied with the desired amount. “We have passed directly through our partner DHL packages to schools,” said Dr. Peter Mints reminiscent of ADAC Westphalia in Dortmund. Finally, should the safety vests from 22 September – are passed to the first graders – even before the autumn holidays.

But as soon as the packages had arrived in schools, as they were also called back again. The result: All delivered vest were recalled. Should already be some spread that students are allowed to keep these vests. Andreas Hazel: “You meet so the warning functions, only not achieve the best possible standard of safety.” That’s why CWS boo will revise all delivered 750 000. Safety vests and provided with a prescribed reflective material.

The distribution is delayed, that galls me.

“This of course delayed the distribution of the Yellow Jackets to a few weeks,” says Dr. Peter Mints, “the galls me.” Fortunately the autumn holidays come in between, so that the non-material damage was not so great. Dr. Peter Mints: “Immediately after the autumn holidays – so no later than 23rd of October – will be ready is the new west in the schools.”

The material damage, which the manufacturer CWS boo has to wear is, said Dr. Peter Mints, “at several million Euros.”
