Suunto has recalled about 35,500 Wireless Tank Pressure Transmitters and Tank PODs because the exterior plastic case can burst during pre-dive pressure testing. There have been two reports of the transmitters bursting during land-based testing, including one report of bruising. These devices, which monitor tank pressure for scuba divers, were sold nationwide at dive shops from October 2003 through April 2017 for approximately $440. Consumers should immediately stop using these devices and return them to an authorized Suunto dealer for a free inspection and repair.
The plastic exterior of the transmitter can fail and burst under high pressure during pre-dive tests. This can cause the case to shatter or expel parts with force, potentially causing impact injuries to anyone nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Wireless Tank Transmitter and Wireless Tank POD and return them to a Suunto dealer or Suunto Authorized Service Center for free inspection and repair.
