Plain-English summary

Technosport Inc. is recalling approximately 2,600 Omersub Zero Cube scuba diving masks. The recall is due to a defect where non-conforming glass was used for the lenses, which can shatter during normal use and pose an injury hazard.

The affected masks are made with soft black rubber and hard rubber around the two glass lenses. The brand name "O.M.E.R." appears in raised letters on the forehead area. The original packaging displays the UPS Code 801 773 612 2298 and Omersub MFG Part #603NCF. The masks were manufactured in China and sold by Technosport Inc., local diving equipment retailers, and online at amazon.com and www.omerdiving.com from April 2012 through June 2015 for about $80.

Twelve incidents have been reported to the firm in which the lens shattered, but no injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the mask and contact Technosport at (800) 853-1911 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, by email at [email protected], or online at www.omerdiving.com to obtain a replacement mask.
