Plain-English summary

WRK Enterprises dba Edge Dive Gear is recalling approximately 750 Edge and HOG buoyancy control devices (BCDs) sold in the United States and 20 in Canada. The affected models include the Edge Freedom, Edge Stealth, and HOG 32lb Wing. These devices were sold at authorized Edge and HOG dealers nationwide and in Canada from May 2009 through October 2010 for prices ranging from $199 to $250.

The recall is due to a defect in the over pressure valve where the spring can corrode and break. If this occurs, the buoyancy control device may fail to retain air, which poses a drowning hazard to consumers. The source text states that no injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should immediately stop using the affected BCDs and return them to an authorized Edge dealer for a free spring replacement. Specific serial numbers for the affected units are listed in the official recall notice. For additional information, consumers can contact Chris Richardson at 1-888-370-3483 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or visit www.edge-gear.com.
