NIJ Safety Notice #01-2014: US Armor Corporation, Model 2316

Published April 25, 2014

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) hereby advises that subject armor unit produced from March 1, 2013, through January 17, 2014, has been permanently removed from the NIJ Compliant Products List due to unresolved safety concerns. Any armors of this model should be replaced as soon as possible.

NIJ encourages law enforcement and corrections officers to continue to wear their body armor until it is replaced. Wearing untested armor is better than not wearing any armor.
