During some air freight shipments in pressurized containers, the VitalWrap
System may develop a vacuum between the top and fluid canister due to the
anti-spill seal. If this does occur, insert a flat, blunt object such as a large
paper clip between the top and fluid canister to overcome the seal.
Please contact VitalWear at 1.800.553.4081 in U.S. or 650.553.4100 if this
is not effective.
