Links to product recalls, safety advisories.
The best central source for product safety advisories in the U.S. is the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission http://www.cpsc.gov their site can be searched by product type or company. Not all recalls involve the CPSC. If multiple vendors utilize a recalled component in their gear, all vendors names may not be listed, it is best to inspect your gear for use of the component. Date signifies recall notice publication, not product sale date If you know of any recalls or advisories not listed (especially vendor specific) please send a quick email and we'll check it out and add the information once verified All entries are here as a public service. The consumer is responsible for verifying all information and securing specific information as to model and serial numbers affected from the CPSC website or vendor. |

Scubapro® Recalls MK 20 Scuba Regulators for Service October 2, 2006 |
Y | Over-tightening of the Yoke or Din retainer during annual servicing of these regulators could result in a stress crack and failure of the regulator. If this occurs during a dive, air supply could be interrupted, posing a drowning hazard. Scubapro® USA has been providing a service upgrade kit via the authorized dealer network since May 2005 which contains a Yoke or Din retainer that prohibits over-tightening during annual service. Consumers can easily identify if the service upgrade has been completed by counting the 2vents on the plastic saddle located on the regulator. If the service upgrade has not been completed (3 vents), the consumer should bring the regulator to any authorized Scubapro® dealer to have the service upgrade completed free of charge. |
