Product Identifiers
All BCD’s with a Powerline inflator that begin with an H or I date code that do not have the inspection mark. Inflators that have been inspected by Aqua Lung will be marked with a permanent indentation “dot” next to the date code.
The Hazard!
Aqua Lung has found a small number of the Powerline inflators continuing to inflate after the button is released during a dive. They have identified the cause to be the bezel around the button being over tightened.
If the defect occurs during a dive, it may cause the diver to ascend too quickly which can cause serious injury.
What to do...
Consumers should immediately stop using their BCD and take it in to the nearest authorised Aqua Lung retailer or dive centre. They will be able to correct the defect for you. This is a quick process and is made under warranty so you will not incur any charges.
