Poseidon is recalling about 300 Besea W50 diving wings with Poseidon inner bladders. The inner bladder can break, causing the wing to fail to operate as a floating/buoyancy device. This poses a drowning hazard to divers.
Poseidon has received 15 reports of inner bladders breaking. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves the Poseidon inner bladders with batch number 5445 sold with the Poseidon Besea W50 wings. The inner bladder is located inside the outer cover of the wing. The batch number and Poseidon are molded on a tab located between the legs of the inner bladder.
The winds, made in Sweden, were sold at Poseidon dealers nationwide from September 2007 through June 2008 for about $366.
Consumers who have wings that contain the recalled inner bladders should stop using the wing immediately and contact Poseidon for a free replacement.
For additional information, contact Poseidon toll-free at (877) 673-4366 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or send an email to info@poseidoncentral.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
