Scuba manifolds recalled
Middletown, NY, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Ocean Management Systems Inc. of
Middletown, N.Y., Wednesday recalled 140 of its rotating cross bar SCUBA
manifolds because of a drowning risk.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the undersized o-rings
installed on the cross bar can cause a loss of breathing air from the
SCUBA cylinder, presenting a risk of drowning.
The commission said there has been one report of breathing air leaking
from a cylinder, but no injuries occurred.
The manifolds, manufactured in Italy, were sold at dive stores
nationwide from December 2003 through September 2004 for about $238.
The commission said the affected units will be replaced at no cost to
the consumer. Consumers are asked to contact the company at
845-692-3600.
