Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is a life-jacket that inflates automatically when it touches water. It has a special part that should make it inflate fast.

What's happening? Sometimes the life-jacket inflates too slowly. This could make it hard to stay above water and could cause drowning.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this life-jacket in France, it may not work right when you need it.

What should I do? Stop using it now. Take it back to the store where you bought it and ask for a refund or a replacement.
