Aqua Lung America Recalls Apeks WTX Power Inflators Due to Drowning Hazard

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The oral inflator button is not properly bonded to the oral stem and can fall off during use, posing a leak of the buoyancy compensator contents. This poses a drowning hazard.

What to do

Consumers should stop diving with their recalled power inflator and bring it or send it to an authorized Apeks dealer. The dealer will apply a free fix. Consumers may also ask for and receive a free replacement product.
