Aqua Lung is recalling all SureLock II rubber weight pocket handles.
Aqua Lung is concerned about the life expectancy of both models of rubber handles. A failure may occur due to separation of the rubber, cracking, tearing or breaking. If this were to occur during a dive, the weight pocket would be left engaged inside the buoyancy compensator (BC).
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
SureLock II is the mechanical weight release system found on most Aqua Lung BCs beginning in 2009. Whether consumers have an original rubber handle or one of the revised rubber handles from a previous recall, Aqua Lung wants to replace it with the latest generation handle, p/n 12396. The newest generation of handle does not rely upon rubber and is considered much stronger and safer.
Consumers should immediately stop using their BCs with SureLock II rubber weight pocket handles and bring the pockets to their nearest authorized Aqua Lung Dive Retailer or Dive Center where they will be replaced fre of charge.
Consumers may contact the company at (855) 355-7170.
