Aqua Lung Recalls Apeks Scuba Diving Regulators Due to Drowning Hazard

CPSC · 08402 · published 2008-09-17

CPSC campaign 08402

Hazard

These regulators can be missing the diaphragm cover, which can cause the diaphragm to become displaced during a dive, allowing water to enter the scuba regulator. This poses a drowning hazard to divers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop diving with these regulators and visit an authorized Apeks dealer for a free inspection and free installation of a diaphragm cover, if the cover is missing.
