From Undercurrent.org:

APEKS Regulator Recall : Some Apeks ATX and XTX regulators have incorrectly assembled second stages. The diaphragm cover, a black, silver or yellow ring of plastic that sits on top of the main diaphragm, was left out during the second stage assembly process. A missing cover could allow the diaphragm to become displaced, causing a diver to suck in water instead of air. The recall includes all second stages and octopuses purchased before July 2008 that haven't had the authorized annual service. Take yours to an Apeks dealer for a visual inspection. A technician can do a visual inspection through the front cover, but it's better yet to remove the cover to ensure the diaphragm cover is there and in its proper place. For details, contact Apeks at info@apeks.co.uk
