Silent Diving Systems Scuba Diving Hoses Due to Drowning Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Diving hoses may have been made without crimps, which can allow gas to leak or water to enter into the re-breather unit of the scuba diving equipment, posing a drowning hazard to the user.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Drowning risk.
