Diving Unlimited International Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, has recalled about 1,454 units of its DUI Weight & Trim System Classic and DUI Weight & Trim System II due to a drowning hazard.
The weight harnesses are made of heavyweight nylon and are black in color with gray handles. The DUI logo appears on the pockets.
Manufacturing defects in the lanyard connecting the handle to the pocket or the cable securing the pocket to the harness can prevent the weight pockets from easily detaching from the harness and releasing the weights when the handle is pulled. No injuries have been reported but the problem poses a drowning hazard to consumers.
The products were imported from China and sold by diving equipment retailers nationwide and in Canada between July 2010 and April 2011 for about $124.
