Reason the product is recalled
Some units sold since 2002 may have a faulty "elbow" pipe which is used to transfer air between the Buoyancy Control Device and the safety tube. A small number of these "elbows" have exhibited signs of cracking or breakage resulting in a situation where the air may not be transferred from the Buoyancy Control Device to the safety tube, thus preventing the tube from inflating and furthermore, this leak may prevent the Buoyancy Control Device from fully inflating.
