Trelleborg Viking product recall

Trelleborg Viking product recall

Trelleborg Viking, Inc., Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has announced the voluntary recall of all Viking Sport Dry Suit Air Inlet Hose Assemblies purchased by consumers in North America between January 1, 1982 and March 31, 1988 (the “subject hose assembly”). A potentially hazardous problem may exist with the seating of the subject hose assembly to the air inlet valve, which may result in free flow of air into the dry dive suit. If this occurs during a dive, use of the subject hose assembly could be dangerous to the safety of the diver. All consumers owning or having use of the subject hose assemblies are warned not to dive with such hose assemblies. Failure to heed this warning may result in serious injury or death to the user. Trelleborg Viking, Inc. will replace all subject hose assemblies at no cost to the owner. Subject hose assemblies will either have no marking at all or will have a combination marking consisting of letters and numbers, the first of which will be “A,” “B,” or “C” and the second of which will be a letter from “A” through “L.” There will be a third number or letter in this marking sequence, but this is not of concern for this identification. The marking will appear on the end of the subject hose assembly at point of connection into the first stage regulator. For more information, call the Trelleborg Viking, Inc. hotline at (800) 344-4458. Outside Canada and the United States, call Trelleborg/Viking Sweden at 46-411-67940.
