The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Scubapro, is recalling about 670 Scubapro X650 Second Stage Regulator. A manufacturing error could cause the main housing of some regulators to change shape over time, which could cause the cover and diaphragm to become dislodged. If this occurs, air flow will be interrupted and the regulators will no longer function, posing a drowning hazard to users.
No Incidents/Injuries were reported.
The recall involves some X650 second stage regulators. All X650 second stage regulators are clearly marked with a blue capital “X” next to the numbers “650” in white. Affected regulators have a visible bump located on the right side of the unit between the letter “C” and where the mouthpiece attaches to the regulator body.
The units were sold at Authorized Scubapro dealers in the U.S. from June 2005 through May 2006 for between $400 and $670 and were manufactured in Genova, Italy
Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact Scubapro to determine if they have an affected second stage regulator. If so, they will receive a free replacement regulator. The company is contacting registered owners of the product directly.
