To all Atomic Aquatics customers, 

Atomic Aquatics has learned of three (3) reported incidences of low-pressure hoses that have become disconnected at the second stage swivel while in use. Impacted products include hoses produced in July of 2017 as well as the range of regulators produced between August 2017 through April 2018. Failure of the hose connection can result in a loss of air and poses a significant drowning hazard to divers.

It is of the utmost importance that if you have a low-pressure swivel hose model listed below with the date stamp D0717, or a second stage regulator purchased after August 1, 2017 with a low-pressure swivel hose bearing the date stamp D0717, that the hose be quarantined and replaced as soon as possible. See image below for example of date stamp.

If you do have an affected hose please contact our service team at (888) 270-8595 ext. 4, or via email at AALPHose@huishoutdoors.com for a Return Authorization number and instructions. The replaced defective hoses should be returned to Huish Outdoors. DO NOT DESTROY THE HOSE!

 

Swivel Hoses bearing the date stamp D0717 will be replaced free of charge by Huish Outdoors.

 

Mares Issues Urgent Voluntary Recall Notification for Third-Party Inflators

Mares has issued an urgent safety recall on inflator mechanisms used in its XR range of scuba diving products.

The voluntary recall notice was issued for inflators manufactured by third-party supplier Ferplast. According to the notification:

'Under certain circumstances, the deflation button could come unscrewed which could result in loss of the seal at the mouthpiece. This in turn would result in loss of buoyancy that could potentially lead to an accident and serious injury or death, hence Mares has decided to issue a VOLUNTARY product recall to protect the safety of the diver.'

The recall is only applicable to newer models of the Ferplast inflator, as depicted. In particular, only inflators with a serial number from 8A – 02001 to 8A – 07630 are being recalled.
