Halcyon, in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, has announced the recall of approximately 20,300 buoyancy compensators and inflatable devices. Damage to the valves has been found in this batch, which can cause air to leak, which can endanger the diver's life. There is no information yet or any diver has suffered using these buoyancy compensators.

Divers who suspect that they own any of these items of equipment are encouraged to contact either the Halcyon website or Halcyon distributors for additional information.
