Aqua Lung Recalls Scuba Regulators and Adapters Due to Drowning Hazard
Hazard
Over-tightening of the DIN retainer by a technician during installation can result in the retainer breaking under pressure, a rapid escape of air from the scuba cylinder, and the regulator detaching from the scuba cylinder. This poses a drowning hazard to divers.
