CPSC, UWATEC AG Announce Recall of 1995 Aladin Air X NitrOx Dive Computers
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), UWATEC AG, of Hallwil, Switzerland, is voluntarily
recalling about 390 dive computers manufactured in 1995 and sold under
the model name Aladin Air X NitrOx. Software in the dive computers may inaccurately calculate desaturation times, resulting in possible decompression sickness under aggressive dive conditions.
UWATEC AG has received five reports of decompression sickness
allegedly associated with the use of the 1995 dive computers.
This recall involves Aladin Air X NitrOx dive computers
manufactured in 1995. The manufacture date is located on the back of the
dive computer, in the lower right hand corner. The date code reads the
number of the month followed by a decimal point and the year, for
example, "01.95." The dive computers are blue and black with the words
"Aladin" and "NitrOx" printed across the front. Aladin Air X NitrOx dive
computers with date codes other than "95" are not included in this
recall.
Scuba diving stores sold the dive computers nationwide from July
1995 through March 1996 for between $950 and $1,200.
Consumers should stop using these dive computers immediately and
contact UWATEC for a free replacement. Consumers will receive the
current model, Aladin Air Z NitrOx. For more information, consumers can
contact UWATEC toll-free at (800) 806-0640 anytime or visit the firm's
web site at www.uwatec.com.
