Diving Wings With Defective Inner Bladders Recalled by Poseidon Due to Drowning Hazard
09251 · Recalled 2009-06-23 · CPSC page
Description
The recall involves the Poseidon inner bladders with batch number 5445 sold with the Poseidon Besea W50 wings. The inner bladder is located inside the outer cover of the wing. The batch number and "Poseidon" are molded on a tab located between the "legs" of the inner bladder.
Hazards
The inner bladder located inside the diving wing can break, causing the wing to fail to operate as a floating/buoyancy device. This poses a drowning hazard to divers.
Reported injuries
Poseidon has received 15 reports of inner bladders breaking. No injuries have been reported.
Remedy
Consumers who have wings that contain the recalled inner bladders should stop using the wing immediately and contact Poseidon for a free replacement.
