What was recalled

The recalled regulators have a brass DIN retainer manufactured prior to June 2006. The recalled Aqua Lung Titan Din 1st Stage regulators have serial numbers lower than 6062501 stamped on the side of the regulator's body. Recalled Titan/Conshelf DIN adaptors are marked "300 BAR MAX" on the side of the part. DIN adaptors marked "300 BAR MAXI" are not included in this recall.

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.

Injuries

The firm has received one report of a DIN retainer breaking under pressure. No injuries have been reported.

Made in

France

Where it was sold

  • Authorized Aqua Lung dealers nationwide from January 1997 through September 2008 for about $300 to $450 for the scuba regulators or $70 for DIN adaptors sold separately.
