CPSC, Halcyon Manufacturing Announce Recall of SCUBA BC Inflators

Reported: September 2, 2004 Initiated: September 2, 2004 #04209

Product Description

The repaired inflators have a groove at the base of their retainer nut. The BCs sold with these inflators are black and the Halcyon logo is on the front and collar of the BCs.

Reason for Recall
