SI Tech Recalls Diving Suit Hoses Due to Drowning Hazard; One Death Reported
The hose contains an insert that can dislodge during diving and restrict air flow to
the diver, posing a drowning hazard. This recall involves a dry suit inflation hose that connects a diver’s dry suit to the
air supply and allows for the pumping of air into the suit to set up a positive pressure arrangement to help keep it
watertight. The hose contains an air flow restricting insert that may be either black, blue or green in color. The batch
code is stamped on the threaded metal end of the hose. They were sold with dry suits and also sold separately.
