Huish Outdoors Recalls Scuba Diving Regulators Due to Drowning Hazard

Plain-English summary

Huish Outdoors LLC, dba Oceanic and Hollis, is recalling specific Oceanic and Hollis scuba diving regulators. The metal regulators attach to the scuba tank valve and control the pressure of the air a diver breathes. The recall involves approximately 4,500 units sold in the United States and 330 units sold in Canada.

The recalled regulators can restrict airflow at low tank pressures (below 500 psi), which poses a drowning hazard to divers. The company has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with the use of these products. The affected units were sold at scuba dive equipment stores nationwide from October 2017 through June 2018. Prices ranged from $240 to $350 for the first stage regulator only and $400 to $650 when sold as part of a complete first and second stage regulator.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled scuba diving regulators. To identify if a unit is affected, consumers should check the serial number laser-etched on the first stage body or the part numbers and UPC numbers printed on the packaging. Consumers can contact a local Oceanic or Hollis dealer for a free repair or call Huish Outdoors toll-free at 888-270-8595 (extension 4) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday.
