Diving Unlimited International Recalls Weight Systems Due to Drowning Hazard
CPSC Recall1 injuries · 2011-07-12 · 11275
Hazards
Manufacturing defects in the lanyard connecting the handle to the pocket or the cable securing the pocket to the harness can prevent the weight pockets from easily detaching from the harness and releasing the weights when the handle is pulled. This poses a drowning hazard to consumers.
