Ocean Management Systems Inc. (OMS) ANNOUNCES Safety Replacement OF
BCS SEAL RING (Item # BCA 500)
Ocean Management Systems, Inc. (OMS) has notified the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), that they are voluntarily recalling
approximately 19,790 Sealing Rings BCA-500. Molding variations in this
part as used in the OMS Buoyancy Control System (BCS) could cause
cracking or breakage of part, resulting in rapid loss of buoyancy,
creating a potential drowning hazard. While this variation is not
present in every Seal Ring (Item # BCA 500), it would be difficult to
determine in the field which Seal Rings are suspect. Therefore they
are requiring that all Seal Rings be updated with new assemblies. All
NEW seal rings are equipped with reinforcement at critical areas. 19
failures have been reported of 19 failures. These failures were
discovered during inspection, with no reports of injuries or death.
For further instructions or if you have questions, you can call OMS at
1-8845-692-3600, email at recall@omsdive.com or look on the website
