⚠️ Risk

The housing for the cover and diaphragm of the affected units were manufactured with a material that could deform over time, causing the cover of the regulator to come loose and the diaphragm inside the regulator to become dislodged. If the regulator is exposed to sufficient heat for a prolonged period of time, housing deformation would be accelerated. In the event the diaphragm dislodges in water, air flow will be interrupted and the regulators will no longer function, posing a drowning hazard to users.
