Poseidon West and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have issued a voluntary recall of the company's Besea W50 Diving Wings with Poseidon Inner Bladders.
The inner bladder located inside the diving wing can break, causing the wing to fail to operate as a floating/buoyancy device. This poses a drowning hazard to divers.
Poseidon has received 15 reports of inner bladders breaking. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves the Poseidon inner bladders with batch number 5445 sold with the Poseidon Besea W50 wings. The inner bladder is located inside the outer cover of the wing. The batch number and “Poseidon” are molded on a tab located between the “legs” of the inner bladder.
About 300 units were sold at Poseidon dealers nationwide from September 2007 through June 2008 for about $366.
Consumers who have wings that contain the recalled inner bladders should stop using the wing immediately and contact Poseidon for a free replacement.
