Poseidon M28A Dive Computers Recalled Due to Water Intake Hazard

Poseidon M28A Dive Computers can stop working when water enters the device, causing the depth sensor to malfunction and loss of dive data. The firm has received one report of water intake but no injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical (loss of dive data and potential injury risk). This falls under the rubric's criterion for at most a score of 2 when no illnesses/injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical.

Plain-English summary

Poseidon Diving Systems Inc. is recalling Poseidon M28A Dive Computers sold from March 2017 through April 2019. The recalled dive computers, identified by serial numbers beginning with "M28A-", are used for diving and calculate continuously to present needed data for divers. They can be used stand alone or in combination with the Poseidon SE7EN Rebreather.

The recalled dive computers can stop working due to water intake, which causes the depth sensor and other electronic components to malfunction, resulting in loss of dive data for the diver. This poses an injury hazard. The firm has received one report within the U.S. of water intake causing this malfunction, though no injuries have been reported.

Approximately 100 units were sold at diving stores nationwide, online, and at www.poseidon.com for about $2,100. Blue Ocean Ventures LLC of Gardiner, Maine was the importer.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dive computers and contact Poseidon Diving Systems at 800-858-6729, by email at [email protected], or online at https://www.poseidon.com/en-us/support/m28a/ or www.poseidon.com to return the product via free return shipping and receive a free repair.
