Atomic Aquatics is recalling approximately 4,000 Cobalt dive computers because the unit can leak, causing the screen's lens to blow off suddenly due to internal air pressure. This defect can also lead to a gas leak during a dive. There have been 23 reports of lenses being forcefully expelled from the computers, though no injuries have been reported yet. These handheld console-style computers were sold by authorized dealers from November 2010 through July 2012 for about $1,200. Consumers should immediately stop using these devices and return them to an authorized dealer or the factory for a free repair.
The lens of the computer can be forcefully expelled by excess internal air pressure, which can cause impact injuries to the user. Additionally, the resulting gas leak during a dive poses a serious drowning hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dive computers and return the unit to either an authorized Atomic Aquatics dealer or the Atomic Aquatics factory for inspection and repair.
