What to do now

SCUBAPRO Monorail Weight Pockets for Buoyancy Compensator Devices could fail in water.

  1. Do not use it for swimming or bathing.
  2. Never leave a child alone in or near water, even for a moment.
  3. Contact Scuba Pro or the shop you bought it from to arrange the remedy set out in the notice.

Why it matters. Drowning is fast and silent. Bath seats, inflatables and swim aids can give a false sense of security.
