M&J Engineering Recalls Swivels for Scuba Diving Masks Due to Drowning Hazard
07293 · Recalled 2007-08-29 · CPSC page
Description
This recall involves all SW-3000 2nd stage 360-degree swivels for scuba diving masks manufactured between January 2004 and February 2005. The swivel has the date stamped on its body, below the patent number. Swivels that are already repaired have an arrow stamped on the top right corner of the swivel body.
Hazards
The swivel, which is attached to a diving mask, could separate while diving. This will result in a sudden loss of the diver's air supply, causing the diver to engage in emergency ascent. This poses a risk of decompression sickness due to rapid ascent or drowning.
Reported injuries
M&J Engineering has received one report of swivels separating from the masks while diving. No injuries have been reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the scuba diving masks with the swivel attached and contact M&J Engineering to receive a free repair.
