CPSC, Halcyon Manufacturing Announce Recall of SCUBA BC Inflators

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
announces the following recall in voluntary cooperation with the firm
below.
Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless
otherwise instructed.

Name of product: Halcyon SCUBA Buoyancy Compensator (BC) Inflators

Units: About 4,000

Manufacturer: Halcyon Manufacturing, of High Springs, Fla.

Hazard: The SCUBA BC bladder can have a slow leak because of
imperfections within the machining of the stainless air barrel of
their inflators. This can cause unexpected buoyancy problems with
divers, possibly resulting in decompression sickness.

Incidents/Injuries: Halcyon has reports of 10 incidents of BCs
leaking. No injuries or deaths have been reported.

Description: Halcyon is recalling all stainless steel power inflators.
They have a stainless steel oral and power inflate button. Inflators
made of plastic are not included in this recall. The repaired
inflators have a groove at the base of their retainer nut. The BCs
sold with these inflators are black and the Halcyon logo is on the
front and collar of the BCs.

Sold at: Dive stores nationwide sold these inflators individually from
October 2003 through May 2004 for about $46. The inflators also were
sold as part of BC units ranging from $270 to $600.

Manufactured in: United States.

Remedy: Consumers should stop using these BCs immediately and contact
Halcyon for information on receiving a free repair.
