48,500 Regulators Recalled/Scuba pro

[Michelle Crowe]

Gentlemen,
I do not know if this spurred the scuba pro discussion  a week and a half a go, but here it is again... I received this in my internet mail yesterday.
The recall is for Scuba Pro regs that were manufactured between 1996 and 2001.
I have also attached the US government's link at the bottom of the recall and it contains photos as well.

Safe travels to all of you.

For Immediate Release November 2, 2006
SCUBA-PRO RECALL

Danger in over 48,500 Scubapro MK20 First Stages:

In early October, Scubapro and the U.S. Consumer

Product Safety Commission issued a recall of Scubapro

MK20 first stage regulators. If someone servicing the

regulator over-tightens the yoke or DIN retainer, it could

cause a stress crack that might ultimately interrupt air

supply. Divers should stop using the regulators and take

them to any Scubapro dealer, where, for no charge, the

retainer will be modified to prohibit over-tightening. This

recall comes more than 16 months after Undercurrent

first reported the problem. For information:
