M&J Engineering Recalls Swivels for Scuba Diving Masks Due to Drowning Hazard

Hazard

The swivel, which is attached to a diving mask, could separate while diving. This will result in a sudden loss of the diver's air supply, causing the diver to engage in emergency ascent. This poses a risk of decompression sickness due to rapid ascent or drowning.
