A-Plus Marine recalls high-pressure scuba diving air hoses with a black rubber cover that can separate, reducing air supply and causing drowning. Consumers must stop using and get free replacements.
The diving hose that connects the regulator to the tank's pressure gauge can separate reducing the available air supply to the diver, posing a drowning hazard.
A-Plus Marine is recalling high-pressure scuba diving air hoses that can separate during use, cutting off air supply and risking drowning. This is serious because scuba divers rely on continuous air flow to avoid drowning.
The hose can separate from the regulator or tank gauge during use, which cuts off the air supply to the diver. Without air, a diver can drown quickly, especially in deep water where emergency assistance is harder to get.
Scuba divers who own the recalled hoses are at risk. Divers using these hoses for recreational or technical diving are most vulnerable due to the potential for sudden air loss.
Look for hoses with a black, smooth rubber cover, about half a centimeter in diameter, and 32 or 36 inches long. The label "Scuba Diving High Pressure hose I.D. 3/16" (4.76 mm) W.P. 5000 PSI Exceeds SAE 100RT braid with Kevlar fiber from Dupont" in white lettering is printed on the hose.
Immediately stop using the recalled high-pressure scuba diving air hoses as they can separate and cause drowning.
Reach out to A-Plus Marine for a free replacement hose to ensure safe continued use.
Consumers should immediately stop using the hoses and contact A-Plus Marine for a free replacement hose.
