What happened

Shearwater is recalling yellow pressure diving transmitters that provide tank pressure readings for scuba divers. The transmitters can fail to signal tank pressure due to interference when two transmitters are used during the same dive, creating a drowning hazard. The recalled transmitters are cylindrical, measure 3 inches in length, and have "FCC ID: MH8A" printed on the end. They can be identified by part number 13009 or 13009-01 on the packaging and an 8-digit serial number starting with FK or BM etched on the side.

Consumers who own these transmitters should immediately stop using them and contact Shearwater to arrange a free repair or exchange.
