On April 9, 2026, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning to consumers to immediately cease using the weight pocket.
According to the assessment of CPSC, the D-ring handle that is used to unlock the weight pocket from the Buoyancy Compensator Device may detach during use. If this happens, the user will not be able to remove the weight pocket in an emergency to rise to the surface, posing a risk of serious injury and drowning.
There are currently 2 reports of the weight pocket breaking during use.
Are the Weight Pockets Recalled?
