Approximately 130,000 Santa Cruz Jr. youth snorkeling masks sold under the U.S. Divers and Aqua Lung Sport brands are being recalled. Notches in the single-paned tempered glass can cause the lens to shatter unexpectedly under water pressure, creating sharp fragments. There have been nine reports of the lenses cracking or breaking, including three incidents where children suffered minor cuts and scratches to their faces. These masks were sold individually and in snorkeling sets at major sporting goods stores and online between March 2011 and July 2012. U.S. Divers is providing free replacement masks to affected consumers.
The tempered glass lens contains structural notches that can fail under water pressure, causing the glass to break into shards while being worn. This poses a significant risk of lacerations and eye injuries to the user's face.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled masks and contact U.S. Divers for a replacement mask.
