Johnson Outdoors recalling dive computers in U.S. | Reuters

No injuries have been reported. The company sold about 350 computers in the United States and about 40 in Canada, the statement said.
The devices were sold at Scubapro dealers from March 2014 through June 2014 for about $450. They were made in Indonesia.


The recall itself isn't surprising - it would seem to be in the good company of other PDC recalls. What is surprising is the rate of sale of the unit - about 100/month for the four months of sales or a total of ~400 units in the USA and Canada. With a MSRP of ~$450 this would seem minimal at best.
