Plain-English summary

BRP U.S. Inc. is recalling approximately 2,500 Sea-Doo LinQ 13.5 gallon or 51 liter marine coolers. These coolers were sold separately or with model year 2019 Sea-Doo Fish Pro personal watercraft. The affected units are white with a black storage pocket, rod holder system, and trolling slots. Part number 269800817 is engraved under the cooler and on a sticker underneath.

The recall is due to a hazard where the cooler latch can automatically lock when the lid is closed. This allows a person to become locked inside the airtight container, posing entrapment and suffocation hazards. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The coolers were sold at Sea-Doo dealers nationwide and online on sea-doo.com, Amazon.com, and other websites from September 2018 through June 2019 for about $650. Consumers should immediately put the coolers out of the reach of children. They should contact a BRP Sea-Doo dealer for a free repair. For more information, consumers can call BRP toll-free at 888-272-9222 or visit the Sea-Doo website.
