What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect could cut off air supply to a diver, posing a significant safety risk, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

U.S. Divers Co. is voluntarily recalling all scuba regulators sold after December 1, 1976, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The affected models include the Conshelf XII, Conshelf Supreme, Calypso J, Calypso IV, Aquarius, Octopus, and Hookah. The regulators were distributed nationwide.

The recall is due to a potentially defective clamp ring that may cause the second-stage regulator diaphragm to unseat. If this occurs, the regulator may flood with water, cutting off the air flow to the diver. This malfunction could result in internal injury.

Consumers should immediately stop using these regulators. The model name and/or "U.S. Divers" appears on the product on the purge button. Affected consumers should return the regulators to an authorized U.S. Divers dealer for a free replacement of the clamp ring. For additional information, consumers can contact U.S. Divers Co., Customer Service Department, at 3323 West Warner Avenue, Santa Ana, California 92702, or call (714) 540-8010.
