Innovative Scuba Concepts Recalls Diving Regulator Components Due to Drowning Hazard
CPSC Recall1 injuries · 2007-05-31 · 07200
Hazards
The swivel, which is attached to a diving regulator, could separate while diving. This will result in a complete and sudden loss of the diver's air supply, causing the diver to engage in emergency ascent procedures. This poses a risk of decompression sickness due to rapid ascent, and air embolism or drowning if the diver panics or the emergency ascent procedure fails.
