Cressi-sub USA has recalled about 1,350 Scuba Buoyancy Compensator Devices (BCDs) equipped with LP inflator hoses. Defective metal fittings on the inflator hose can restrict airflow, causing the BCD to fail to inflate or to inflate improperly. While no injuries have been reported, this defect poses a serious drowning hazard to divers. These products were sold at Cressi authorized dealers nationwide between March 2022 and August 2022 for between $250 and $1,200.
The metal fittings on the inflator hose can malfunction and block air from entering the buoyancy device. This prevents a diver from maintaining buoyancy or controlling their ascent, which can lead to drowning.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled scuba BCDs and contact Cressi-sub to receive a free replacement hose with installation instructions including a pre-paid mailing label for returning the recalled hoses. The firm is contacting all known purchasers regarding the recall.
Serial numbers are stamped into the metal fitting that attaches to the BCD.
