Pelagic Recalls Digital Dive Computers Due to Decompression Hazard
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in
cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary
recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using
recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
Name of product: Oceanic and AERIS Digital Dive Computers
Units: About 2,800
Manufacturer: Pelagic Pressure Systems, of San Leandro, Calif.
Hazard: When performing a switch from one gas to another during a dive,
the dive computer's display will lock up and not return to the main dive
screen that displays dive times. This can cause divers to enter
decompression unknowingly or the diver could ascend prematurely,
resulting in decompression sickness.
Incidents/Injuries: Pelagic has received a report of two dive computers
malfunctioning. No injuries have been reported.
Description and Models: The recall involves Oceanic-brand ATOM 2.0 dive
computers with serial numbers 1 through 2,079 (Revisions 2E, 3A, and 3B)
and AERIS-brand EPIC dive computers with serial numbers 1 through 712
(Revision 1A), which can be accessed and viewed on the computer's
display. Also, the serial number and date of manufacture are printed on
the bottom of the unit (Oceanic ATOM 2.0 from August 23 to November 23,
2006, and AERIS EPIC from October 18 to November 14, 2006). This recall
does not include any other Oceanic or AERIS brand dive computers.
Sold at: Authorized Oceanic dealers sold ATOM 2.0 dive computers
nationwide from August 2006 through February 2007. Authorized AERIS
dealers sold EPIC dive computers nationwide from October 2006 through
February 2007. Both computers sold for between $670 and $950.
Manufactured in: United States
Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled dive computers and take
them to an authorized Oceanic or AERIS dealer to get a free software
upgrade.
Consumer Contact: Contact Pelagic toll-free at (888) 854-4960 between 8
a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, send an email to service@oceanicusa.com, or write to: Pelagic Pressure Systems, 2002
Davis Street, San Leandro, CA 94577. Information is also posted on the
Oceanic and AERIS Web sites (www.OceanicWorldwide.com and www.diveaeris.com).
A moderator is required - but if these were 'stickies' they'd be at the top of the forum page all the time, and easy to see. Just my suggestion - a mod would have to place them that way AFAIK.
