Huish Outdoors Recalls Buoyancy Control Devices (BCDs) Due to Drowning Hazard
Consumer Safety Alert: Huish Outdoors Recalls BCDs
Approximately, 1,400 Zeagle brand buoyancy control devices (BCDs) are being recalled because the buoyancy control devices can suddenly leak air causing a loss of flotation, posing a drowning hazard to professional and recreational scuba divers.
The recall includes all Zeagle brand Grace and Element BCDs. BCDs are used to help a diver maintain buoyancy under water during scuba diving. The Grace model is black with light green accents and has the logo “Z/Grace” on the right side pocket and left shoulder. The words “Zeagle Sport” are on the left side pocket. The Element model is black with red accents and has the logo “Z/Element” on the right side pocket and left shoulder. The words “Zeagle Sport” are on the left side pocket. They are manufactured by Huish Outdoors LLC, out of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled BCDs and return them to Huish Outdoors or an authorized Zeagle dealer for a free replacement.
The BCDs retail around $412 for the Grace model and about $490 for the Element model BCD, and were sold from September 2015 through August 2016.
