Phantom High Pressure Hose Recall

[Tug]

It appears as if another high pressure hose is being recalled, this time it is Phantom.

Just got an email from Dive Gear Express pointing me to this

http://www.divegearexpress.com/other/phantomhoserecall.shtml

It appears as if the recall has not been formally announced yet.

I received this from LeisurePro:

Dear Customer;
We have been notified by Innovative Scuba Concepts that they have
initiated a Consumer Products Safety Commission Recall for certain
"Phantom" high pressure braided hoses that was manufactured. The
failure mode is that the hose can burst at the crimp fitting that
attaches to the first stage. When this occurs breathing gas is let out
of the tank at an uncontrolled rate and may result in severe injury or
death due to drowning.
The following manufacturing date codes are subject to recall: 11Q3,
11Q4 and 12Q1. Please click on the link below for complete
instructions.

recall does NOT affect other double braided low pressure regulator
hoses, BCD inflator hoses, and does NOT apply to any rubber hose nor
to any Miflex brand hoses.

My 11Q4 failed last week, rather violently.

My 11Q4 failed last week, rather violently.

I happily dove my Phantom HP hose marked 11Q2--which is not part of the recall--until last week when I noticed it was leaking loudly where the hose enters the barrel at the gauge end.

Yikes, I just purchased a 12Q2 Phantom last week (happenstance found me here) ..... did they come out later with any additional recalls or warnings for other Phantom products?

Did I just tie the most obscenely perfectly formed and tight knot for the bolt snap on my HP hose?
-Yes
Was this hose recalled probably about the time that I tied it?
-Yes
Did a little piece of my soul just die?
-Yes, dang it, yes...

I Just had a rubber HP hose fail in the same manner and it appears to be made by Innovative. It is 10 mm X 33 inch and has a 11Q3 stamp on the fitting. Thankfully this failed right before the start of the dive. The hose was sold to me by Scubachoice and I have contacted them about the problem.
