A California company is recalling about 24,700 pieces of scuba diving equipment that could leak air, possibly causing divers to drown.
Oceanic USA, of San Leandro, has received six reports of air leaks, along with either noise or vibration, from their Oceanic CDX first stage regulators, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. No
injuries have been reported.
