The Marine Corps is recalling 5,277 DHB Corp. armored vests after a Marine Times story noted that they were issued to troops after waivers exempted the vests from minimum specifications.
The vests were issued to troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Dijbouti, according to the Associated Press.
We categorically stand behind the quality and effectiveness of Interceptor OTVs manufactured by Point Blank, said Larry Ellis, president of DHB Industries and a retired Army general.
