Aqua Lung announces recall of Powerline inflators with a date code of “H”

Hazard: The inflation button can remain depressed and cause the buoyancy compensators to continue inflating, resulting in an uncontrolled ascent. This poses injury and drowning hazards to the diver.

Recalled Product: Select Powerline inflators with a date code of “H” found on Aqua Lung and Apeks buoyancy compensators sold from January 2015 to September 2016.

Remedy: Consumers should bring their buoyancy compensator to their local Aqua Lung dealer for inspection and repair.
