Swivel for a Scuba Regulator
Published May 23, 2014 · Recall initiated: May 31, 2007
What's the hazard
The swivel, which is attached to a diving regulator, could separate while diving. This will result in a complete and sudden loss of the diver's air supply, causing the diver to engage in emergency ascent procedures. This poses a risk of decompression sickness due to rapid ascent, and air embolism or drowning if the diver panics or the emergency ascent procedure fails.
What to do
Consumers should stop using regulators with the swivel attached and contact the dive store where purchased for a refund.
