Plain-English summary
Ocean Technology Systems is recalling approximately 900 Guardian full-face diving masks. These masks incorporate a second-stage regulator into the mask to cover the diver's full face. The recall is due to a hazard where the plastic visor can dislodge or separate from the mask.
The company has received three reports of visors dislodging, but no injuries have been reported. The masks were sold through direct sales and diving equipment retailers nationwide from March 2009 through August 2009 for $800.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled diving masks. They should contact Ocean Technology Systems to receive a free repair, which includes stainless steel clamps to secure the plastic visor.
