Diving Unlimited International Recalls Weight Systems Due to Drowning Hazard
Weight & Trim System Classic
DUI Weight & Trim System Classic and DUI Weight & Trim System II
Recall Date: July 12th, 2011
Type: Swimming Pool Equipment
Units: About 1,454 in the U.S. and 46 in Canada
Hazards: Manufacturing defects in the lanyard connecting the handle to the pocket or the cable securing the pocket to the harness can prevent the weight pockets from easily detaching from the harness and releasing the weights when the handle is pulled. This poses a drowning hazard to consumers.
Remedies: Repair
Consumers should immediately stop using the systems and call DUI at (800) 325-8439 Monday thru Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT or e-mail [email protected] to receive a free repair of the system.
Description
The weight harnesses are made of heavyweight nylon and are black in color with gray handles. The DUI logo appears on the pockets. The Weight & Trim System Classic has two small weight pockets on each side. The Weight & Trim System II has one large weight pocket on each side. Systems with large silver stripes on the sides have been inspected or repaired and are not affected by this recall.
