ROMI SCUBA Regulators Due to Drowning Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
An internal component that seals air between the high pressure first-stage and the intermediate pressure second-stage can fail. This can result in uncontrolled flow of air to the diver and pose a risk of serious injury or death.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Drowning risk.
