Sherwood AVID BCD Two (2) Simultaneous Catastrophic Plastic Tank Mount Failures.

That must be that big tag. I'll have a look later when I'm home. Is there a lot # or MM/YY number published that shows it's safe after XXX?
If not, how can I tell?

I just know they told me it was changed about 5-6 years ago. I will send you a PM.

Plastic Tank Mount Failures

OMG. i cant believe sherwood has not done a recall on this. I am on dive vacation in mexico and both my plastic strap bases attaching tank straps to bcd comoletely dissinegrated. my tank just floated attached inly by carry strap on top and bcd control tube. This is truly a huge safety issue. Did u ever follow up w sherwood and file a complaint. I will try to add pictures. Both dissinegrating at same time js a huge safery issue!

Hi All:

Been a while since I logged in. Sherwood actually replaced my BCD!

Yeah had the same thing happen to me. Luckily was in a pool when it happened. Did a giant stride and cam bands with tank totally separated from BCD. I emailed Sherwood and didn't hear anything about it ever.

sherwood has not done anything, even a thousand of problems with their bcd Avid and a lot of their regulator, the plastic covers and the tank holders are garbage. you would think that they would do the right thing they done nothing. never buy any of their products.
