Hazard:
When the shutter valve is unscrewed enough it can disrupt the supply of breathing gas. This could result in severe injury or death.

Recall Details/Description:
Aqua Lung has recalled its Yoke Auto-Closure Device (ACD) diving regulators. The shutter valve in the ACD assembly may not be tightened to the recommended torque setting. The shutter valve may work loose from the yoke retainer while trying to remove the first stage from a cylinder. When the shutter valve is unscrewed enough it can disrupt the supply of breathing gas. This could result in severe injury or death.

Sold At:
Authorized AquaLung retailers

Remedy:
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled yoke/regulator and return the unit to either an authorized AquaLung dealer or the AquaLung repair center for inspection and repair. If you think your unit has been affected, please bring it to us to be reviewed and/or repaired by our service technician. (Please Note: If your regulator has had an annual or other service from an authorized technician, the ACD assembly would have received a service and be torqued to the correct specifications as per the service manual.)
