AquaLung recalls some Apeks branded BCDs
Name of Product:
Apeks Exotec SCUBA Diving Buoyancy Compensator Devices (BCDs)
Hazard:

Remedy:
Repair
Recall Date:
October 20, 2022
Units:

Apeks recalls Exotec BCD
The issue at hand
When an affected BCD is inflated, the grey pull dump knob retracts towards the stitched channel of the jacket. The channel then prevents the knob from further retracting and slightly opens the dump valve. As a result, the BCD cannot be fully inflated, which could lead to a lack of buoyancy control.
AquaLung Sold To Private Equity Firm
It was the year that Air Liquide, along with Jacques Cousteau and Emile Gagnan founded 'La Spirotechnique'. This company conceived, designed and manufactured a range of scuba diving equipment, including some of the first commercially available regulators. Their first modern 'Aqua-Lung' or regulator was the CG45.
