Recall info

[Always Breath]

Does anyone know of a site that may have a list of recall related to SCUBA gear?

You should get in touch with the manufacturer of said piece of gear if you have any concerns like recalls, that is, if the LDS can't help you out for whatever reason.

Now that's a good idea. Maybe DEMA has this info on their site..... Don't know cause I've been staring at my computer too long to go look.......

I'm pretty sure recall info would make it here to SB rather quickly.

I am looking for a source other than the manufacturer. Manufacturers are sometimes slow when it comes to announcing recalls.

I'm a bit confused by this remark....Most recalls are initiated by a manufacturer. You may be asking about recalls "forced" on a manufacturer by a government agency....If so, I think you'll find these types of recalls to be few and far between....

If you look at the page Mark listed, you'll find that many (I didn't look at all of the pages, so I can't say 'all') of the recalls are manufacturer announced recalls, some of which were reported to the consumer product safety commission.

What I should have asked, if there is there a forum on scubaboard or some other message board. Where people report problems that they may encounter with a model or specific brand. I couldn't find anything on the sites fellow board members were nice enough to send me
