Is my product affected?

High-pressure scuba diving air hoses

  • Brand A-Plus Marine Supply, Inc., of Gulf Breeze, Fla.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

A-Plus Marine is recalling high-pressure scuba diving air hoses that connect the regulator to the tank's pressure gauge. These hoses have a black, smooth rubber outer covering approximately half a centimeter in diameter and are either 32 or 36 inches long. They are marked with white lettering reading "Scuba Diving High Pressure hose I.D. 3/16" (4.76 mm) W.P. 5000 PSI Exceeds SAE 100RT braid with Kevlar fiber from Dupont" and have metal fittings on each end stamped with "CE EN 250 230" on the female side and "12Q1" on the male side. The hoses pose a drowning hazard because the connection between the regulator and pressure gauge can separate, which reduces the air supply available to the diver.

Consumers who have these hoses should immediately stop using them and contact A-Plus Marine for a free replacement hose.
