What happened

Innovative Scuba Concepts, Trident Diving, and A-Plus Marine are recalling high pressure scuba diving hoses sold under the Phantom and Mesh Flex brand names because the hoses can rupture, creating a drowning hazard.

These hoses were manufactured with specific production date codes stamped into the metal fittings: codes 11Q3, 11Q4, and 12Q1 for products from Innovative Scuba Concepts and A-Plus Marine, and codes T0811, T0911, T1011, T1111, T1211, T0112, and T0212 for products from Trident Diving Equipment.

Affected consumers should immediately stop using these hoses and contact Innovative Scuba Concepts, Trident Diving Equipment, or A-Plus Marine (depending on which company sold the product) to receive instructions for obtaining a free replacement hose.
