The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Dive Rite, has announced a voluntary recall of v. Partial obstruction of various Wings.

The over pressure valve springs in the diving equipment could rust and fail allowing the buoyancy compensator devices to leak, posing a drowning hazard to divers. No injuries have been reported.

Springs were used on wings that have an opaque white or blue tinted bladder and welded in flanges. Wings with a black bladder are not affected. Only the Dive Rite wings that have a serial number range from 42000 through 72000 are affected by this recall. The serial numbers can be found on a white tag attached along a seam of the wing.

Consumers should immediately stop using recalled diving equipment and return it to an authorized distributor or dealer for a free replacement of the overpressure valve spring.

For additional information, contact Dive Rite at (800) 495-1046, or look on the website for further information at http://www.diverite.com/products/service/opvspringrecall
