Scubapro Recalls MK 20 Scuba Regulators for Service
Posted Oct 3, 2006 @ 06:50 AM CDT by raf

Scubapro, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, has issued a safety recall for its MK 20 First Stage Regulators (recall details). The recall affects approximately 48,500 units worldwide. Over-tightening of the Yoke or Din retainer during annual servicing of these regulators could result in a stress crack and failure of the regulator. If this occurs during a dive, air supply could be interrupted, posing a drowning hazard. Consumers should bring MK 20 regulators to any authorized Scubapro dealer to have a service upgrade completed free of charge.
