CPSC, Diving Unlimited International Inc. Announce Recall of Scuba Diving Devices
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Diving Unlimited International (DUI) Inc., of San Diego,
Calif., is recalling about 3,500 Overpressure Valves (OPV) used with Buoyancy
Control Systems. The overpressure valve can stick in the open position, posing a
drowning hazard to divers.
DUI has received two reports of the valves sticking open. No injuries have
been reported.
These Buoyancy Control Systems come in two versions, a jacket style and a
wings style. The overpressure valve is installed on these units. It is very
difficult to distinguish the defective overpressure valves from those not
affected. Therefore, all overpressure valves with red pulls are included in this
recall. The jacket model has the DUI logo printed on the jacket pocket,
epaulette, and weight pockets. The wings model has the DUI logo printed on the
epaulette and weight pockets. The letters "DUI" are printed on the permanent
hang tags found on the Buoyancy Control System.
Authorized DUI dealers nationwide sold these Buoyancy Control Systems from
November 1997 through November 2001 for about $590.
Consumers should stop using the overpressure valves immediately and
contact the DUI dealer where purchased for a free replacement. For more
information, consumers can contact DUI at (800) 325-8439 between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m. PT Monday through Friday. Consumers also can visit the firm's web site at
www.DUI-Online.com.
All new OPVs are equipped with yellow pulls.
