EDGE Dive Gear, selling scuba Products under the brands EDGE and HOG (Highly Optimized Gear) today received an EDGE Freedom Buoyancy Compensator returned to a dealer with a complaint of a broken spring in the Over Pressurization Valve (OPV). This is the first report of this issue brought to the attention of EDGE Dive gear and no injuries have been reported. Upon inspection of the unit involved and other used EDGE and HOG products utilizing the same OPV design it has been determined that the springs in the OPV exhibit an unacceptable amount of corrosion. Diver Safety is our primary concern, thus we are taking fast and decisive action.
In cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, EDGE Gear is issuing a voluntary recall on all EDGE FREEDOM BCDs, Some EDGE STEALTH 2 BCDs (units with red weight release handles for weight pockets are NOT involved), HOG 32lb Single Tank wings identified as Made in China and all EDGE 32, 38 and 58lb wings.
IMMEDIATELY CEASE USE OF THE IDENTIFIED PRODUCTS AND RETURN THE PRODUCT TO AN AUTORIZED EDGE DEALER OR EDGE FOR SPRING OPV REPLACEMENT.
For more information, please contact EDGE at (404)579-7631
