What was recalled
This recall involves the Monorail Weight Pocket, which is sold as an accessory designed to attach to a Scuba Diving BCD. The weight pocket has a black base and a fabric pouch sold in multiple colors with a gray plastic D-ring handle attached to it. The weight pocket was sold in two sizes, standard and mini, and eight colors, including black, blue, green, orange, pink, teal, white and yellow. The standard size is about 10.75 inches long by 3.75 inches wide by 2 inches deep and weighs about 9.6 ounces. The mini size is about 7.5 inches long by 3.75 wide by 2 inches deep and weighs about 7.52 ounces. Both sizes have a color cover and "Monorail Weight System" printed on the bottom of the pocket. SCUBAPRO is printed on the cover of the standard size.
The hazard
The D-ring handle that is used to unlock the weight pocket from the Buoyancy Compensator Device (BCD) can detach during use. If this happens, the user will not be able to remove the weight pocket in an emergency, in order to rise to the surface, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a drowning hazard.
Injuries
The firm has received two reports of the D-ring handle detaching. No injuries have been reported.
The remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Monorail Weight Pocket and register online at https://scubapro.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/recalls for a free repair of the D-ring handle at a local authorized dealer or to obtain a prepaid shipping label to return the recalled weight pocket to SCUBAPRO for a free repair and free return shipping.
