Recalls
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.
There exists a possibility for Oceanic and Hollis diaphragm style regulators to significantly restrict airflow at low tank pressures (below 500 psi) due to a condition in the first stage, posing a drowning hazard to divers. It is of the upmost importance that if you have a regulator model listed above that was purchased OR serviced between October 1, 2017 and May 25, 2018 that it be serviced as soon as possible.
If you own a Oceanic diaphragm regulator purchased OR serviced between October 1, 2017 – May 25, 2018:
- Do not dive with the affected product before it has been serviced.
- Confirm if your specific product is affected by following the instructions at: www.recall.oceanicworldwide.com/pin
- If your product is affected, take the product back to your local retailer for service. Oceanic retailers can be found using the dealer locator: https://www.oceanicworldwide.com
Zeagle is issuing an important recall regarding inflators on Zeagle Sport BCDs.
