WARNING: BODY ARMOR MAY BE DEFECTIVE
A maker of body armor said Wednesday that nearly 100,000 of its vests may not be bullet-resistant and urged police departments nationwide to replace them.

| But, the company added in a statement posted on its Web site, some protection is better than none, and "until the affected vests are replaced, officers should continue to wear" them. |
The interesting thing is that the company recalled all the vests made completely out of Zylon last fall, but failed to recall the vests that are partially made out of Zylon.
