Scubapro® X650 Diving Regulators Recalled for Drowning Hazard

Recalled June 7, 2006 · CPSC recall 06177 · Scubapro®

Hazard

A manufacturing error could cause the main housing of some regulators to change shape over time, which could cause the cover and diaphragm to become dislodged. If this occurs, air flow will be interrupted and the regulators will no longer function, posing a drowning hazard to users.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact Scubapro® to determine if they have an affected second stage regulator. If so, they will receive a free replacement regulator. The company is contacting registered owners of the product directly.
