Halcyon Manufacturing is recalling about 20,300 diving equipment items, because the over pressure valves could fail, allowing the buoyancy compensator devices and the diver lift inflatable devices to leak, posing a drowning hazard.

No incidents or injuries have been reported.

The equipment was sold at diving equipment retailers and distributors from January 2006 through December 2008 for between $350 and $450 for the buoyancy compensator devices, and between $50 and $275 for the inflatable devices.

Consumers should return the equipment to a Halcyon dealer for a free inspection and, if necessary, free replacement of the overpressure valve spring.

Call 800-425-2966 or visit www.halcyon.net/opv-recall.
