RECALL: Scuba Swivels…

September 4, 2007
SGB Update

The CPSC and M&J Engineering are recalling approximately 1,500 AGA
Swivels for Scuba Diving Masks. The swivel, which is attached to a
diving mask, could separate while diving. This will result in a sudden
loss of the diver's air supply, causing the diver to engage in
emergency  ascent. This poses a risk of decompression sickness due
to rapid ascent or drowning.

M&J Engineering has received one report of swivels separating from
the masks while diving. No injuries have been reported. The swivels
were sold at diving retail stores nationwide between January 2004 and
February 2005 for about $60.
