Izone recalled the Beluga Arm Ring (Cloud Blue), a wear-type swimming aid, in Korea on July 23, 2026, under a collection-and-exchange order — the finished product broke before holding the 500N load the standard requires, and the backflow valve kept only 65% of buoyancy after two minutes where 75% is the floor.
An arm ring that bursts or bleeds air mid-pool converts the parent's calm into the emergency. No accident was reported; owners stop use and contact Izone for repair, exchange or refund.
Two failures in one aid — the seam and the valve — the only two places a swim aid is allowed to fail nowhere.
Recalled the Beluga arm rings after they failed both the 500N load test and the 75% buoyancy floor, ordering stop use, exchange or refund.
Broke before the 500N load; valve kept 65% buoyancy vs the 75% floor — Korea ordered recall Jul 23, 2026; stop use, exchange or refund
A swim aid has exactly two jobs — hold the load, hold the air — this one failed both in the same test season
Certified Mar 2024, recalled Jul 2026 — the rig found in two minutes what the pool would have found first
A standard's load test is a child's worst afternoon, run on a machine instead. When the machine breaks the ring in seconds, the water was never going to be kinder.
