February 5, 2011: FIREFIGHTER GLOVE ISSUE
Posted On: Feb 36, 2011

FIREFIGHTER GLOVE ISSUE

As you may have read on our home page in the last few days, there are significant problems related to The Blaze Fighter Glove manufactured by The Glove Corp.

 

The problem is essentially 2 fold:

1-There have been documented reports of FF's receiving up to 2nd degree burns while operating when wearing these gloves. The mfg apparently and intentionally changed materials which no longer met certification.

2-The manufacturer closed their doors and went out of business earlier this week.

We have had the details on our home page for a few days-please check it out to make sure this issue doesn't affect your members.
